Скачать или смотреть Why Are So Many Jamaicans Talking About Going Back Home? | Cost of Living & Reality Check

In this episode of On the Veranda with Kel, we unpack the growing conversation around “going back home” to Jamaica.
With the cost of living in the UK rising and economic pressure increasing, more Jamaicans in the diaspora are questioning whether staying makes sense. But are we fully thinking through what returning actually means?
This episode explores:

Why migration has always been part of Jamaican survival strategy

The economic realities both in the UK and Jamaica
Whether “going back home” is a plan or a response to pressure

The importance of considering employment, stability, and long-term impact

This is not about blame. It’s about clarity.
