    Aren’t western countries have strict education requirements before they would even consider permanent residency applications? Or are you talking about refugees, which imo shouldn’t be counted as a way to replenish aging workforce because the governments let them in for humanitarian reason?

      The large volume of applications of economic refugees made it so since 2015 the the education requirements are essentially waived. There are no wars in Morocco, for instance, but i personally know of refugees that hid their nationality to enter as war refugees. This is very common.
