So 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.

I 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.

Of course not! You should get the same results as someone who worked their ass off,no matter how many mistakes you make in life!

What first world country can people emigrate to without a sponsor, a degree or specialization?

Or 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.

I think you haven't been to a poor country. Case in point India is more than 20% illiterate.

I 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.

Of 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

There are 2M college graduates in a population of 100M. That's almost 1/3 the size of US population.

Why do you think you're entitled to emigrate there?

I'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.
