Partially, but it is also that due to wage and PPP differences a single person with a mediocre job in the EU can support an entire extended family back in their home country. Changing that is not so easy, especially when it largely comes down to PPP and lifestyle differences.
IMHO as much as I agree that it would be great for people to not feel a lot of pressure to leave their home countries to look for a better life, maybe the more realistic option is to try and find a way to make this migration more beneficial for both sides (which it already largely is, but we could do better).
Also climate change will guarantee a never ending supply of refugees from the "global south'.
What's PPP? Price Per Papaya?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purchasing_power_parity
It means that the same goods and services can cost a lot less in some countries due to various factors.
I was close!
I prefer price per papaya from now on
