Abstract

This article aims to develop an under-researched field of youth migration by exploring the factors that influence desire for emigration amongst the youth in Libya, by using a sample of 500 university students. Modelling the data through binary logistic regression, we found that gender, family, satisfaction with life, the outlook of the country and conflict and war were key factors influ encing the Libyan students’ desire for emigration.
