By Neli Esipova and Julie RayOf the roughly 630 million of the worlds adults who desire to move to other countries, less than one-tenth of them — about 48 million adults — tell Gallup they are planning to move in the next 12 months. Less than half of those who are planning to move — about 19 million adults — are taking necessary steps such as applying for visas or residency and purchasing tickets.These findings, and others highlighted in the new report, “Gallup World Poll: The Many Faces of Global Migration,” are based on a rolling average of interviews with 401,490 adults in 146 countries between 2008 and 2010. The 146 countries represent more than 93% of the worlds adult population.
