Why do so many young people, in particular, want to leave the country and go abroad? Some to continue their studies, others to settle permanently. Is it a whim, the appeal of what other expatriates say, or simply because staying and hitting dead ends offers little hope for a better future? Moreover, a survey among many others, initiated by the TADY project with IRD support, confirms in its report the following findings: 84% of surveyed parents want their children to go abroad, and 86% of them opt for permanent departure to France (54%); Mauritius and the Comoros (5%); Canada (6%); Germany (4%)... The reason, to put it simply, boils down to one word: pessimism, on all fronts, about their future and even that of the entire country. Their determination is such that in 2020, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), approximately 15,000 young people attempted to emigrate illegally. This emigration, despite institutional obstacles, can only make it even more difficult to meet the challenge of developing the country. Because if, in the past, we observed departures of non-graduates or people without specialties, today we are in a different case. Waves of highly qualified young people (engineers, doctors, researchers...) will go to fill the void created by aging demographics in the countries where they will work. So here are young people already trained and raised for free who fall into the arms of already developed countries. Meanwhile, here, the deficit of social production, compared to population growth, continues to widen. Should we blame them for this? Certainly not: if their parents, overall, have failed in their responsibilities, it is not their fault. For them, Malagasy grass is made only of savannas and ochre earth. M.Ranarivao
