Austrian emigration refers to the movement of people from Austria to other countries, often in search of better economic opportunities, political stability, or personal freedom. This phenomenon has occurred in various waves, particularly during the 19th century and after World War II, when many Austrians sought refuge from political turmoil and economic hardship. Throughout history, significant numbers of Austrians have settled in countries like the United States, Canada, and Germany. The reasons for emigration have varied, including the pursuit of education, employment, and family reunification. Today, Austrian emigrants continue to contribute to the cultural and economic landscapes of their new homes.
