It is hard to attract skilled workers in Europe
Let be honest. America have way better salary and english is common language .
I see European politicians talking about attracting skilled migrant. But that's almost impossible
I mean I am gonna be honest. If a skilled engineer live in Thailand. Then he/she would probably migrate to America instead of France for example. Because first language. He/she already know english even if it is broken. Learning French and other European language as a adult is very hard. English itself is very hard language for Asian. But at least they learn it from childhood.
America also have more Asian. So Asian feel more comfortable migrating there
Middle East and Africa don't have that many skilled engineer and scientist
Second salary. Only china can compete with America on salary( extremely skilled worker) If we are being honest. I know average salary is higher in Europe than china. But I was talking about like top scientist.
So in my opinion focusing on attracting immigrant is doomed strategy for them.
They're gonna mostly attract low skilled immigrant and criminal who are gonna be on welfare. Because of insane welfare system in eu.
Which is bad for economy.
you probably won't even need low skilled immigrant in future because of how fast ai is growing.
I don't know what they're gonna do when they don't need immigrant for low skilled work because of ai.
I think it is way better to focus on training your own people in science. European countries performance in pisa ranking is dropping in science. Because you can't compete with America when it come to Asian scientists .
Encourage ai and robotics technology adoption and ai and robotics research so you can replace low skilled work as soon as possible.
Most European countries have low gdp growth rate and Germany even have negative growth rate
I mean because I don't know what they're gonna do about these immigrant later
Like let's say after 10 or 20 year. When they don't need them for low skilled work. Because of robots and ai
