The chart illustrates the share of issues people aged 18 to 34, 35 to 54, and over 55 face when they move abroad.
Overall, it is clear that the oldest group experiences significantly fewer problems with making friends and finding a place to live. On the other hand, more than half of responders struggle with learning a local language. In the meantime, younger people in two other groups face a similar share of challenges.
The figure for learning a new language stood at 29% and 35% for people aged 18-34 and 35-53, respectively. The challenge of finding a place to live seems to have an almost equal effect on both groups: roughly 40% of respondees in those age groups claim to experience this problem. For finding acquantainces, the percentage is 46% and 36% for groups aged 18-34 and 35-53, suggesting it is harder for younger people to foster friendships in a foreign country.
For people over 55, learning a local language shows to be the most difficult task for 54% of responders. In contrast, only 23% and 22% admitted to experience difficulties with making friends and finding a place to live, respectively.
