MORE than a quarter of Cypriots between the ages of 18 and 28 intended to go abroad in search of better employment prospects, a survey conducted by the Cyprus Institute of Statisticians found. The survey found that 26.6 per cent of this age group intended leaving, with the Institute describing its findings “extremely discouraging and disappointing.”

The Cyprus mail thinks it not a bad thing.
In the end, youngsters going abroad in search of work is not a disaster. It is a good thing as it shows initiative and a sense of adventure. Many of these youths will eventually return to Cyprus with good skill-sets and make a positive contribution to the economy; others will only return for holidays, to see friends and family, because they have made a life and career for themselves abroad. This is how things work in the modern age.
I am not so sure.
