A recent study has revealed that 50% of Nicaragua's population was willing to leave the country due to a repressive government and economic decline.

The study, titled "The Pulse of Democracy in the Americas" by AmericasBarometer, said half of Nicaragua's 6.2 million population wanted to migrate to other countries.
