And you think random circa 1000 people are sufficiently representing your country? Is it really properly spread across all demographics? Or are we just targeting bigger cities in those countries and having a skewed outcome?

Look at the questions and then look into some countries from the list - e.g. media freedom or availability of work is not really on par in Balkans or V4 and you have Kosovo or Serbia on the top 30 list? Nothing suspicious here?

Sure, my viewpoint is subjective, but it is also something Ive been a part of for the last 20+ years, so maybe weigh in with your view instead of just blatantly disregarding someones. Cheers.

Wanted finally to see how they get to this data:

Gallup interviews approximately 1,000 nationally representative residents aged 15 and older per country.

This is a laughable sample size.

Lived in some of these countries (both EU and Balkans) and have known people leaving some en masse. Call me a cynic but what a joke.
