Book is leading here. To talk about. This coverage. 3 more cool. People we have. Lets have a look at some of the other much as around the league who still shaking in their boots who could breathe a sigh of relief so you dont want to miss this. Just go. To w. A look into the mind of african refugees why the young bright africans risk their lives to go abroad because they have been failed by their own governments at home thats what a new u. N. Report out today. And zimbabwe after mugabe Business Owners are increasingly disappointed by the new government as the economy is still reeling from all accounts unsupplied. This is business africa on d. W. I. Is welcome young educated africans are risking everything to start new lives abroad because they have been failed by their governments put on the policies that is the key message from a new a un survey of almost 2000 people published today the report is called scaling fences and is focused on people who entered the europe irregularly but were not looking for humanitarian protection almost half of them had jobs when they left africa and almost one in 10 were rolled in school compared to their peers at home they were better off and more highly educated so why did they risk the perilous journey to europe well of those who were working in their home country only 12 percent said and enough to be able to say for the future the studys authors say many migrants felt theyre apt to leave africa to fulfill their ambitions their experiences says the report can be taken as a collective plea to their governments to set the level of creativity ambition and pace of africas Economic Transformation and social Political Development heigho. One of the findings of that study we have mentioned is that only 2 percent of these african migrants say they wouldnt have left had they been more aware of the dangers of irregular migration so what is it that drives these young bright africans to take such a big risk in heading to europe a little earlier i put that question to hakim stein a hes the head of the United NationsDevelopment Program who commissioned a commission to study. Well in the report scaling the fences that we have presented today we tell that story through literally their own voices this is the core of this report 2000 interviews with irregular migrants to europe and the story as always it is more complex than many people believe it to be 1st of all we find that amongst those who do leave their countries are not always those who are considered the extremely poor in fact they are those who have some education some possibilities and above all an aspiration to do more with their lives to have hope about other opportunities so yes economic poverty drives migration but it is combined also with the ability to actually move on and to look for opportunities elsewhere and to some extent also related to a sense of ambition exceeding the opportunities in their lifetime for development and personal success in the countries were talking about these opportunities you say that they are slightly better educated more intelligent but does that mean that they can stop working in europe on arrival. Well to some extent that obviously is not the reality so many regular migrants initially struggle to find their feet but yes in due course many of them are able to work and women often in the Health Sector in cleaning and other such jobs that are at the lower end of the jobs market many of them find a way in the construction sector of the founding sector often that it wages advantage but you know at the end of the day being able to have a job allows them to also send money back home and this is very often the factor that will keep them 1st of all in europe another time we found that those are actually able to make a living also more likely to return to their countries which is another surprise in finding. The group of people were talking about here are not leaving their countries just came violence and persecution they simply want a better life understandably so what kind of african countries now do so convince these educated ambitious people to stay there desperately needed a home and that. Well this is a story of transition and development that in all our countries have experienced it and what i think is perhaps in part different is that the number of young people today in africa is growing very fast you have an extraordinary young population and the prospects of being able to utilize all the possibilities of 21st Century Technology life still seem very remote and these are not the sort of people that are either wealthy or you know are privileged let us be realistic living on 260. 00 you know as an average income is not exactly something that will give you the perspective of having succeeded but what were also looking at is really that in the development of cs and also in the national and International Programs that are being put in place we need to focus more on units we need to accelerate job creation in need of separate also the capacity of young people to come to butte more actively because many of them do lament also their inability to contribute to the broader political and social life in their country and therefore you know getting up and going somewhere else becomes a way of also creating new opportunities so its an economic dimension accelerating Development Finding a way to create jobs that are not just raise of any an income but you know these are young people who are connected to the well they can through the internet follow what else is happening around the world theyre driven by hope by ambition by dreams and their countries and the National Development context has to respond to that more quickly. On him sign a thank you very much thank you now for a slightly different perspective on that story we take a look at south africa its economy is floundering unemployment is on the rise so more and more black South Africans are leaving their country for good those with the means to seek Greener Pastures are scrambling to move abroad mostly to the u. S. And here up consulting for so important new emigration applications are op 70 percent of that battling to keep up with demand.

Share in a better lifestyle for my kids. When several run up or serve became president in 2018 south africa experienced a bounce in numbers of survivor and returning home after a decade of mixed immigration but many are left disappointed with his progress in turning around the countrys fortunes repatriation consultants are now feeling the pinch back that he said we are going through more of a depth of people wanting to return compared to last year we had rahm a 4 year without president came in but the same reasons are bringing people back home friends and have a sense of purpose and a sense of belonging to come through in the next few weeks leslie has a medical appointment to finalize his moves them here people was.

Leslie and his wife find that the arguments for staying in south africa are few and far between. Just last months symbolic with bury its former leader Robert Mugabe loved by somebody loathed by many more the erstwhile Freedom Fighter turned dictator is seen as responsible for triggering the dire economic crisis as dog the country for years many have hoped that the current gov on the president. Could finally find a way to jumpstart the still ailing economy so far theres been little sign of much change. That sort of everything has come to a standstill once again theres no electricity one day many years so has a major figure wales but the power grid has just gone off and his small Mechanical Engineering company in harare has come to a standstill. If the office with good maybe things going to be ok they have good jobs they want to throw but you can employ some time there is comes.

Important Hydro Power Plant buttering. There is an emergency Power Generator here but its only Strong Enough to supply the office many of say uses the time to write some emails hoping that there will be enough power for the big machines again later in the evening.
