The rich countries want cheap workers, you can have them both cheap and educated in foreign languages, this workers also will go home when working season is over or if they don't like the conditions. The ones that do not directly benefit by this cheap workforce may not like this people that don't speak the main language well but the ones that benefit don't care.
- michaelt 9y agoThe rich countries want cheap workers, Do you think voters in rich countries want cheap workers? Because I don't think I've ever heard a politician say out loud that they want cheap workers.
- iguy 9y agoIt's a vote-winning strategy to keep an economic boom going, and importing young workers to fuel it is such a strategy. Almost all European countries did this. By the time said workers are old, and their kids (who aren't mentally comparing to the village their family) are unhappily unemployed... well that's decades later, you don't get elected by worrying about such things.
- simion314 9y agoThe ones that do not benefit from this do not want it, but there are family businesses that would fail without the cheap workers from other countries, I am not making the point that cheap work is a good thing or a bad thing, just that people are benefiting from this. Also this workers are working hard jobs in agriculture or constructions, with bad conditions, the citizens would not accept to work this job, for the agriculture obs I am not sure if even with bigger pay the regular citizens would want to work hard physical jobs outside in the bad weather.
