India, and China also provide much more opportunities for "natural selection" to weed out bad workers.
On other hand, the West has degree mills which will give one, and workplaces which will not test your abilities even to the minimum. And it will be the person's first serious job where the surprise will come.

I would say that selection in the West happens at the university admission level, not really in university (they do everything they can to get you to graduate once you're admitted). But admissions are still, for now, a fairly good and informative filter. Some workplaces, canonically software engineering, do test your abilities (I assume you mean in interviews?). There are plenty of logic games and practical tests. I agree most jobs don't do anything like this, and it's a shame.
