      You should see Belgium, many children refuse to move out of the same village as their mothers, much less 50km. It is probably similar in italy for example. Would be interesting to see state on Europe and Asia too!

      Bruh, that’s been the case for literally the entirety of human history. In fact, way closer.

      Given how humans evolved, it’s much crazier that so many people move hundreds and thousands of miles away from their families and support systems.

        If anything, you’re underplaying it! Agriculture allowed us to stop moving. Not having to travel is what made civilizations

      It makes some sort of sense imo. What the graph is essentially saying is that most people stay in the same city as their parents. An 18 mile rage around a house covers most of a city. It’s probably thousands of people who live in the same neighborhood as their parents skewed by the handful that move out of their home city.

          Bad parents might have had an influence, but I had decent parents, and I still moved to the other side of the planet at 20. Do you think you would you have been happy, staying put? 'Cause me, I wouldn’t do anything differently (well, a few things, but not related to my moving around).

            I have no desire to stay where I am personally, just a waiting game to pool together enough money to make job hunting elsewhere… viable. Cars paid off next year, that’s probably when I’ll start seriously looking

          Yeah horrible parents or rich parents are really the two big reasons one can move out. Otherwise there’s really no reason to do it if you’ve got your whole support and friend network in the city.

      Idk about the rest of the world, but most people I know in the US seem to stay in their hometown or a nearby town
