Did you actually see how this really works before forming your opinion? The only thing my family needed to migrate to Switzerland was one job contract for my mum, not even a well paid job but some future potential due to relatively good education. The most complicated part was not paying way to much to get our stuff over here.
Its not to different in many other countries. The thing is, if you are somewhat valueable (i.e. learned a job that has a higher need) you have a realistic chance.
- heavyset_go 6y agoWhat first world country can people emigrate to without a sponsor, a degree or specialization?
- EvilEy3 6y agoWhy do you think you're entitled to emigrate there?
- heavyset_go 6y agoI'm not the one saying that people living in low income countries can just emigrate to high income countries to solve their problems with poverty.
- herbst 6y agoOr money. Money works too. None i guess, but gladly many people have the possibility to get some kind of degree these days. Just because you come from a poor country does not mean you have no means of learning a job.
- random314 6y agoI think you haven't been to a poor country. Case in point India is more than 20% illiterate.
- herbst 6y agoI spent a few months in SEA (Combodia, Thailand, Malaysia) and i met several people who moved from their poor families in the country sides to the cities worked at a job and some even studied next to working. I honestly don't know how the economics work out, but these people decided they want more and changed to life in a way to make this work. I totally agree that this is not possible for everyone. Even in Switzerland a percentage of unfortunate people never really had a chance based on their inability to help themselfs or function within the system.
- random314 6y agoOf course several million people coming from poverty have had good outcomes via education. Heck, I moved myself from a 3rd world country to a first world country. But for the vast majority college education is inaccessible. Even the state sponsored free primary education is pretty much inaccessible with absent teachers and barely functioning schools. BTW, Malaysia is a middle income country. Visit some of the displaced tribal communities in India and you will have a different perspective. Half the women in this Indian state are illiterate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_In_Bihar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_In_Bihar There are 2M college graduates in a population of 100M. That's almost 1/3 the size of US population.
- notahacker 6y agoSo all you need to do is rewrite the first 18 years of your history to obtain a "relatively good education".... People are not paying their life savings to get smuggled into Europe on a small, overcrowded boat because it's easy to move here.
- herbst 6y agoI get what you are saying. But 99% of people reading this will have some kind of degree. Prolly 90% a tech one. Yes without education, no chance.
- EvilEy3 6y agoOf course not! You should get the same results as someone who worked their ass off,no matter how many mistakes you make in life!
