Surprisingly around six in ten of these want to<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong> travel around the world<\/strong><\/span>, some particular countries like China or Japan because it\u2019s always been a dream of theirs, but most others want to travel across the world, obviously when they\u2019ll have time!<\/p>\n<p>About a quarter of people just want to<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> <strong>travel more regularly<\/strong><\/span>, whether that\u2019s for a long vacation, travel at least once a year. A tenth of people want to <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>live in another country<\/strong><\/span>, whether that\u2019s as far as South America or Uzbekistan or another European city like Porto. A small minority want to<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong> work abroad<\/strong><\/span>, whether that\u2019s to do projects in a specific field like international development or a job that enables them to live in a variety of places.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ibm.co\/14S0cTW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 221px; margin: 5px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/euroalter.com\/images\/article_uploads\/Travelling TreeMap.png\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nClick on the visualisation to activate it<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helping<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 201px; height: 133px; margin: 5px; float: right;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/euroalter.com\/images\/article_uploads\/Helping.jpg\" \/>Around one in sixteen of the participants value \u201chelping\u201d as their most important aspiration. For about a third of these, this involves<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong> providing for their family and friends<\/strong><\/span>. For a quarter, this is also about <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>getting involved in their community<\/strong><\/span>, because they want to leave a positive legacy, including leaving the planet in a better state than how they found it, but also to keep up their curiosity in life.Around 15% of these want to do so through <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>provoking social change<\/strong><\/span>, whether that\u2019s through the film they produce or the campaigns they\u2019re involved in, particularly for marginalised people.

Over two thirds of participants want to <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>start a family<\/strong><\/span>, with some aspiring to become good parents. About 15% want to <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>be in a loving and stable relationship,<\/strong><\/span> some even striving to have learnt how to love and the meaning of the word, which they feel this is more important than getting married.<\/p>\n<p>Just under 10% value as very important <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>keeping their best friends and maintaining a happy life with them <\/strong><\/span>and their family, with some striving to meet new people. This analysis shows that<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong> having children is an aspiration that crosses generations<\/strong><\/span>. What\u2019s fascinating is <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>how little marriage is mentioned as an expectation<\/strong><\/span>, at best making the relationship official and at worst, a bureaucratic formality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ibm.co\/11GgSjo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 221px; margin: 5px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/euroalter.com\/images\/article_uploads\/Connecting TreeMap\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nClick on the visualisation to activate it<\/p>\n<p><strong>Feeling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 200px; height: 125px; margin: 5px; float: right;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/euroalter.com\/images\/article_uploads\/Feeling.jpg\" \/>Only around 7% valued \u201cfeelings\u201d as their number one principle.
