Recently, the hashtag #RunAwayFirst has been trending a lot on social media. This hashtag has become a kind of "digital confession" from many young Indonesians who feel the urge to go abroad to seek a better life, whether for work, school, or simply to find a new atmosphere. This phenomenon arose from conditions in the country that are considered increasingly difficult.
Many believe that salaries do not match the work and cost of living, job opportunities are getting narrower, health and education are not prioritized, and there are social and political issues that cause headaches. Thus, #RunAwayFirst emerges as an expression of the current society's desire to 'run away' first and seek opportunities in other countries.
