Clements Worldwide Partners with Research Consultancy i-World Research to Release Survey of 8,000 Global Expatriates
Clements today released the findings of the Expat Survey
2013, in collaboration with
i-World Research, a research consultancy with over 20 years of experience in
expatriate communications and media.
Supported by Clements, the Expat Survey 2013
results include responses from expatriates from 128 countries, many of whom reported
surprising insights about life abroad. Issues like understanding
a new tax system, finding
the right school for children and learning a new language are now considered much more easily
surmountable with the
right tools and advice.
For example, 63 percent of respondents found
that organizing finances when abroad was an easy task, and 61 percent also
considered securing healthcare
insurance easy when first moving
out of their home country. Similarly, 75 percent reported that they felt happy
in their new country, while only 12 percent felt that their expectations had
not been met.
Notably, the majority
of expats reported that financial planning and insurance protection is something they
consider an afterthought, choosing to arrange these plans after landing in
their new destination. In this instance, 55 percent reported securing
health insurance after they moved and 64 percent indicated that they chose
insurance protection for their assets and property after arrival.
However, expats may still be more suited to making these decisions prior to departure,
to ensure that they are able to select a comprehensive international insurance
policy that offers the maximum level of protection.
Sergio Sanchez, Chief Marketing Officer
at Clements, said: “The results of the Expat
Survey 2013 clearly indicate that moving abroad is no longer a challenging or
difficult experience but is a process that expats can find enjoyable and
relatively straightforward. As global insurance experts, we have worked with expat clients every day
for over 65 years to provide them with financial protection and peace of mind.
This ensures that their experience moving
and living abroad is as hassle-free as
possible.”
