Bermudians Living and Studying Abroad Survey 2017

The reason for collecting the data

Are you a Bermudian living, studying, or working abroad or will be departing within the next twelve months for these purposes? If so, we would like to hear from you! Many Bermudians have departed to the United Kingdom and other countries for a number of reasons. Unfortunately, there is no data which records the number of people leaving or the reasons why. As such, our client, a group of young people, have commissioned this study which aims to compile the relevant data on the number of Bermudians who are abroad and, in particular, those in the U.K. This information will be used to determine the size of the Bermudian community abroad, the reasons for which they are abroad and their likelihood of returning to Bermuda. Personal information provided will be kept confidential. There will be a draw for prizes for participating. Now, let's begin!
