Statistics of birth and target countries in the simulator. The birth country was randomised, while they could choose the target country. Around 25 per cent of the participants attempted to migrate, but failed to reach their target countries due to financial constraints, limited travel options to other countries, illness or death.
“It’s not really surprising that many students were unable to migrate their characters. In reality, migration is often difficult to achieve, particularly from certain parts of the Middle East and North Africa, where many people live in great economic deprivation. You need favourable conditions, such as money and good health,” says Markus Al-Afifi, the study’s lead author.
