Meanwhile, respondents in Switzerland have shown markedly less interest in working abroad.
The proportion of people keen to find a job outside of Switzerland dropped from 77% to 60% over the past four years.
The main motivation for working abroad remains to “broaden horizons”. The best destinations to do so are the US, Canada and Germany, according to the Swiss-based respondents.
The report is based on interviews with more than 366,000 employees and job seekers in 197 countries.
