Yep. Logic next step is UBI. What of all the poor countries with millions of uneducated that need UBI but the country doesn't have a upper end to carry the UBI?

I don't see how that's gonna work :(

Globalization has been bringing up living conditions across the entire planet for 50+ years now. Presumably that trend would continue such that they could get the eduction they need, possibly through foreign aid or through sharing the bounties of the natural resources in those countries.

But you're right, it will be a hard problem to solve if we continue to separate wealth by country. At the end of the day we'd need a planetary economy to really deal with it.
