>Almost all of my friends with higher educations have left for northern countries, as the situation here is untenable for young people.

>Bottom of the barrel wages for natives are the result of uncontrolled mass migration - we have received millions of immigrants in the last decade, which has basically destroyed wages.

Putting those two sentences of yours together triggered that thought in my mind, I apologise if I was wrong.

when you say "immigration has destroyed wages" you mean "immigration has lowered the floor of low wages" but you also imply "businesses CAN pay higher wages but WON'T".

i wouldn't blame the immigrants there. the whole thing managed correctly would be (or actually already is) a huge boon for the country. the suffering of the young and poor seems to be a choice made by the greedy.

Why would they pay better wages if they can choose not to? It’s simple supply and demand.

then raise minimum wage for these workers.

then if you tell me "cannot afford it, not realistic", we can conclude immigrants were not the problem.
