You are a young person with big entrepreneurial dreams and plans to change the world, and sooner or later you would like to look beyond the borders of your country, where you can further upgrade your skills. But rent and expenses will have to be paid. So where is it wise to move?
For young people, there are no shortcuts to advice on the best place to live. One of the latest studies gained insight with the help of the metro stations most visited by young and educated people. Another study polled the communities themselves to determine the best areas for digital nomads. But even recently it turned out that better than asking for the opinions of various groups or looking at standard costs, an insight into not only living expenses and rent, but also the calculation how many employees will come back home, if they manage to earn at least the minimum wage and more youth-oriented indicators such as the costs young people spend on concerts, movies and public transport. The numbers were calculated at Youthful Cities Index in collaboration with Decode.

It should be emphasized that they are accessibility index and real possibilities or opportunities are two completely different things. Indeed, France was recently named as the current one economically weak country by the French Minister of Economy, it also has a high unemployment rate and a reputation for inefficient workers. Higher business costs mean a higher risk for employers when hiring young people. Therefore, maybe even in Paris, the job will not fall from the sky.
In any case, it is necessary think carefully, before we pack our bags and rush to France. The ranking should serve as a reminder that much more than just cheap housing is needed to make a city attractive to young people.
