    The article seems a bit scant on details re: why people are leaving. Is it because the youth are unsatisfied with the quality of life available in the country? Are they seeking a more western-style way of life (perhaps one that’s more secular)? Is this yet another case of younger generations getting pushed out because they cannot find success in a place where all the good homes and jobs are tightly clutched by the older generations? Or is there something completely different causing the mass migration out of the country? The article mentions “the economy” but that could mean so many things, especially when much of the world is also still struggling with post-covid fallout in one way or another.

    I work with a Bhutanese person. They make it sound really idyllic. Apparently they really try to discourage tourism.
