A recent government survey reveals that 36% of young people in Guernsey are certain they will leave the island, with many citing concerns over housing, cost of living, and limited career opportunities. Only a third of students feel confident about staying, while 37% are uncertain about their future on the island.
Dr. Nicola Brink emphasized the importance of listening to young people's concerns, noting that their feelings of limited agency could lead to disengagement and affect their well-being. The report highlights a need for action to address these issues.
