Expats around the world talk about their career abroad and how they envision their future working life.
Working expats around the world are well educated and most frequently work in the fields of education, IT, and finance.
The concept of New Work is most important in the USA, the UAE, Finland, Estonia, and the Netherlands — and relatively unimportant in Japan, Egypt, South Korea, Turkey, and India.
A good compensation will remain more relevant than soft factors in a future working environment.
Munich, 14 September 2021 — Why do expats move abroad? According to the Expat Insider 2021 survey by InterNations, 47% of working expats name their career as the most important reason for relocating to another country. Most of them found a job on their own (17%), were recruited internationally (15%), or were sent by their employer (13%). Just 2% moved abroad to start their own business.
The key focus of this year’s Expat Insider survey, conducted by InterNations, the world’s largest expat community with more than 4 million members, is the future of working abroad. Expats all around the world shared what it is really like to work abroad and described their working conditions. They also provided insights into how new working arrangements (e.g., remote work) are changing their working life and what they would like to see in the future.
