It used to be only experienced workers that looked to move abroad, searching for not only new experiences but better lifestyles as well as increased pay packets, of course. However, increasingly expats are getting younger. There are many reasons for this shift, but key amongst them is widely thought to be the economic situation. There is also a greater awareness of the world at large and the promise of those all important â€life experiencesâ€. Indeed, many are beginning to shift thoughts from gap years in the Far East and Africa, to working there for a lot longer. Companies too are helping fuel the trend. Where once older employees would be sought to fill senior positions abroad, these are going to younger people; many of them recently graduated. This is something of a boon to the battered university leavers finding it hard to navigate the tumultuous job market of the UK. All good news of course, but there are words of warning from the insurance industry, worried that these younger expats are not paying attention to appropriate international healthcare. Throughout your 20s, it is easy to feel invincible, but ask anyone suffering from a bout of Malaria, and your mortality is brought strikingly home. With the young far more likely to spend their free time in far flung destinations leaping from cliffs, climbing mountains, and camping in jungles too, the need for adequate expat insurance is clear. The need for companies employing these workers to advise on such details responsibly is important of course, and it is here that the real emphasis needs to be. Providing appropriate expatriate medical insurance, with relevant and personalised advice is where Expatriate Healthcare based in the City of London specialises.
