Why Albanians leave Albania?

Many Albanians are leaving Albania every year. Although I can understand it, I think Albania needs the new generation. But why do Albanians actually want to leave their country so badly?

Most of the people want out because they're tempted by western materialistic abundance as if it was the only notion of well-being. People should aim to define their own concept of success, without being manipulated or influenced by other people's lives. One interesting project would be to fight for what is right where you are. I subscribed and liked, obviously because this is an objective approach to the matter, compared to fear-mongering sponsored media either from opposition parties or the govt.

[@jacopomontechristo7572]

It has nothing to do with materialistic goods,in albania now it's a matter of putting food on your table. Wages are terribly low and prices are the same as in europe. Quality of the things that you consume is probably from the worst ones,medicines are so bad that dont even have an effect on you and are a lot more expensive than in europe. Salaries are so low that you cant afford food for more than 15-20 days. Imagine living on 400 euros per month and having prices same as in europe imagine the huge corruption in every institution that you have to pay for every service that you get. From the outside it's very easy to give advices to others but if you tried to live in the same conditions as they do I'm sure that you would've chose the same thing as they did,leaving your country for a better life.

[@songstowalkalone]

@@jacopomontechristo7572 you'd be having the same struggles outside. On top of it, you will be losing that small amount if dignity that you had back home when you had human relationships, instead of cold-blooded life with zero sense. This is advice from an insider. If you think you're going out and "making it", you're terribly wrong.b

@@songstowalkalone And I have a lot of examples for people that went abroad and live a life way better than in Albania. Starting from my own brother that moved to the U.S 6 years ago and has achieved things that he would never achieve in Albania. He's working and his having a decent life,he can save a certain amount of money every month,he puts food on the table for his family with to much ease,he has bought to cars for himself and his wife,he helps me cause I have a disease and I'm unable to work,he helps my parents cause their pensions are so low that they cant even afford for their medicines,he lives a comfortable life and even helps us. Going on with my relatives and friends that also live in the US they also have a comfortable life,one of my cousins it's a general manager in a big company and make like 250k a year,friend of mine that have recently moved there and are living a good life. You can ask them if they would ever go back to Albania and you would se e what their answer would be. My brother and his wife while they were living in albania they both had jobs and could barely make enough money to pass the month. Now they work the same and make up to 15 times the amount of money they made in Albania. And as about dignity,if you dont have money to feed your family your dignity will automatically fall. I told you is easy to speak as an outsider but the reality says otherwise, nobody wants to leave his country but the amount of the corruption by the politicians all these years has led people to that decesion.

This kid on 3:34... feel bad for him to get disappointed when he finds out that you pay taxes and the government does not care for you... at least in the USA. But definitely you have more options to succeed. Unfortunately Albania has not been able to get out of the grips of corrupt politicians that spoil that beautiful country.

[@zjarr6279]

Nice video. The real answer is the government is actively squeezing the people out to make room for the salve workers from Bengladesh and India. But for sure, the country has much more potential and quality than western Europe if the government was not so hostile to us. Better food, better weather, good quality water from the mountains, the place is too good to be real. The country can be a lot better than what it is. You can make more money in western Europe and North America, but life is meaningless here, reducing everything to monetary value.

[@lorik0109]

Cos they think the grass is greener in other site. But are plemty jobs in Albania if you get a brick layer less then 80€ a day they don't come plus you have to give them a meal and drink like coffee and raki and they work less hours. If they work in Germany the can get 150max but pay more tax and rent and price more expensive so is the same think but they still think is better in Europe 😂

Tirana is a developed and modern metropolis. There are no reasons to leave the city and move elsewhere in Europe in my opinion. So I feel like these people in the video are really naive.

In 1923 , Munich Germany , a man named Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi founded the Pan European Union also known as the Pan Europa Movement. Mr Kalergi is credited as being the founding father of the modern day European Union . His goal was the creation of a single European State as laid down in his manifesto entitled 'Paneuropa' . His ideas would later form the rock on which the European Union would be built right down to its national Anthem - Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" which was his idea and Europe Day in May also his idea . In his book Praktischer Idealismus (Practical Idealism), written in 1925, he describes his ideas for a european race of people . The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today's races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals - Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi

I'm in the US, born in Boston MA...I can't live there because its too expensive. Aparments are 3,000 a month. So, I live in Maine now..but it's getting expensive here too. Apartments are up to 2,000 now. I want to find a nice country to retire and live simply. The price of food here is outrageous. No money left for fun. It's makes for a sad life. I'm 52 and my husband is 55. Also, in the US...when you get into your 50's you are discriminated against in the work force. I spent 37 dollars on hummus, olives, peppers, bread, soprosetta, and 2 pints of beer at the grocery store..that I work at..for our dinner.

Everywhere I visit this year are people, especially young ones wanting to leave the home country. Nowhere is a paradise on the planet earth. Higher wages, higher cost of living. Living abroad is good, in a sense to broaden one's horizon. The ex-comnunist countries citizens are always after money. Shame.

If you grow up in poverty (like many Albanians), it is not strange that you would like to earn more money. Nevertheless I would love it if money is not the main goal in someone's life.
