        Primarily because it’s really difficult to move countries. Even when an other country is “better”, by whatever metric you may choose, the high switching cost makes the move worse for individuals unless staying in a country is really really bad. That threshold is typically when subsistence in the country of origin becomes untenable, often due to war or famine.

          its pretty much the only way you would move to a first world country is be rich. most countries only take a certain number of people with certain skillsets, and have limited quotas for unskilled migration via things like spouse/family. anyone who thinks someone can just pick a country and move there is either stupid or naive

        Half the population has less than 1000 bucks in savings and doesn’t have a degree like an MD that would bump them to the top of the list as far as citizenship elsewhere. How do you propose people make this happen? The people who are most disadvantaged are those who would have the hardest time doing so.
