Download Why do so many young people want to leave Africa?
A recent survey of more than 4,500 young people in Africa, aged 18-24, found more than half of them are thinking about emigrating in the next few years.
Many participants said they believed that because of the lack of opportunities, they could only improve their lives by leaving the continent.
Others cited security and poor healthcare as reasons for wanting to move abroad.
So, on a recent trip to his home country of Uganda, Alan Kasujja sat down with a group of young people at the Uganda Christian University, just outside of the capital Kampala to see if they too felt the same way.
