Study hard, and you might be able to afford a house in another country.

We need more workers

Why are people leaving?!?!?!?

SSX@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 2y

I'm leaving because I'm tired of the lack of public infrastructure and healthcare. I just want to take a bus and train to where I want to go and feel comfortable knowing I can go to a hospital and leave not broke.

काश यह सच होता 😭 Nah I'm from the UK and the test is really strange and involves a lot of stuff important to my parents and laws in parts of the country I've never been to so pretty much studying is mandatory.

Depends where you’re from. Some have it way easier than others.

I'm responding to rustyfish and felykiosa. People from French colonies are French citizens and can therefore comparatively easily emigrate to mainland France.

Backfires as in every country can take a limited number of migrants and usually try to reserve most of their capacities for people who actually need them (people fleeing from oppression, war or other life-threatening situations) instead of taking many people who just come for the better economy (this way the economy in their homecountry won't get better)

The slavery used to be a lot less obvious, but now.... Everyone can see it.
