October 31st is celebrated as World Cities Day. As we celebrate growth, infrastructure and cities in general across the world, it is imperative to understand what do the millennials think about intercity movement, country jumps etc.
The latest research by Nestpick, claims that the new age kids are not afraid to relocate halfway across the world for the right opportunities and experiences. They have created the Millennial City Ranking for the second year in running, to figure out those cities which attract the maximum youngsters to their doorsteps.
Nestpick analysed 100 cities, taking four main concerns into consideration: Is there work available? Can you afford to live a good life? Is the city open and tolerant? And finally, can you have fun? Millennial City Ranking, is an annual global index founded by Nestpick, a website for furnished apartments operating worldwide.
Within these larger categories, they looked into micro factors such as internet speedy, gender equality, the startup ecosystem, quick progression and other exciting opportunities.
