It seems that also in this situation, money is key. Does this mean that most refugees that make it to northern Europe were rich people in Syria? Also interesting that he left his wife behind. Is she not in danger? Or is the reason for going to Europe mainly for prosperity, with the idea that family reunification will allow his wife to come later?

Once he's in he'll be able to bring his wife and family cheaply by air. EU regulations state that any airline that takes on a passenger that will be denied entry, seeking to enter the country illegally, or is likely to violate the conditions of his visa will be liable to cover the costs of deportation so airlines filter out any potential cases. So they often send out young males to through the smuggling routes since they are more likely to prevail, that said even if the man isn't married they often sell themselves for marriage once they settle within the EU and then bring their new family. In many cases this can run well pass a spouse and include additional family members especially when they can be put as dependents like parents and grandparents. Because of this some countries like Denmark now published new regulations that delay the family reunion the new regulations in Denmark state that family reunions will only be possible after a year has past from the point in which the person has received their ILR and has been officially settled which in it self can take anywhere between 6 months to a few years. This is one of the main reasons why the current refugee numbers mean absolutely squat with the majority of current refugee and migrants being predominantly male in their mid 20's to early 30's the final immigration numbers for settled refugees will inflated through family reunions once they've been settled.

  Thanks for the explanation. That still leaves the question why he left his wife in Syria, and not in Turkey or Lebanon?

    He's an Alawite (A relative minority but the ruling cast in Syria) which means that his an upper-middle class or even more likely upper class, due to this his family is for the most part more likely to be safer in Syria than in the refugee camps in Turkey or Lebanon, especially when considering that those Refugee camps are filled with Suni's, Kurds, and other minorities that do not look at Alawites in a very friendly manner.
