"According to the poll, 40% of women between the ages of 15 to 44 said they would move abroad permanently if they had the chance, compared to 19% of men the same age. (I wonder why!) Per the outlet: The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."
"The sharp rise in younger women wanting to leave the U.S. has created a large gender gap between them and their male counterparts. Today's 21-percentage-point gap between younger men (19%) and women (40%) wanting to leave the U.S. is the widest Gallup has recorded on this trend. 2025 marks the second year in a row that one in five Americans said they'd like to permanently leave the U.S. But, Gallup's been polling this question since 2007, and says this is the first time the trend's been led by women and teen girls."
"According to another poll by Gallup, which tracks government confidence, younger women have not only shown the biggest jump in wanting to leave the country, but also the sharpest drop of trust in institutions. According to that index, the number of women who trusted the judicial system dropped from 55% in 2015 to 32% in 2025. This is likely due to Roe being overturned."
A 2025 Gallup poll found 40% of women ages 15 to 44 would move abroad permanently if they could, versus 19% of men the same age. The share among younger women quadrupled from 10% in 2014, producing a 21-percentage-point gap—the widest Gallup has recorded. 2025 is the first year the emigration desire is led by women and teen girls, and the second consecutive year one in five Americans said they'd like to leave. Younger women also showed the steepest decline in institutional trust; trust in the judicial system among women fell from 55% in 2015 to 32% in 2025, likely influenced by Roe v. Wade being overturned.
