Ooh close! I’m moderately skilled.
If you are a good talker you can turn that in highly skilled.

Of course. The question is, is it something you need to grow your GDP.
People with a philosophy degree are some of the most wanted by employers that don’t require someone with specific math based skills, such as engineers. Philosophy = I know how to think, and think differently.
I’m not that surprised. A lot of countries and other government entities have tried attracting digital nomads with various schemes. What is El Salvador going to offer that is a plus to other places?
It is now one of the safest countries in the world, which is quite the feat given that at one point, even if briefly, years ago, was the worst in the world. Worse than say Iraq during their civil war caused by the USA after their invasion and their ISIS period. Also safer than the USA.
Also the weather, the world-class surfing, vistas, the food and the party lifestyle. Sister recently moved there.
They have some work to do if they want to expand their pool of countries to pull from. https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/6089164f-en/images/images/Chapter 3. Health status (draft)/media/image2.png
Left side is missing some context, and the whole thing could do with a title. Not every skilled professional is looking to get laid, and plenty of skilled professionals are women or gay men themselves.Is there some concern with countries prohibitting travel to El Salvador?
or was your statement entirely in regards to gender ratios among Spanish-speaking countries?EDIT: that’s enough upvotes. I merely failed to zoom in far enough, although I still disagree regarding the graph’s applicability to this Post.
Your assumption of what the graph displays is wrong. Yes, it lacks a lot of information and the post could have clarified more.
But at the bottom of the graph you can see that the x-axis is years. Which is a strong indication that this graph displays the life expectancy of latin american countries. Whicha quick goolge seems to confirm. And it shows that El Salvador ranks poorly even amongst them. Since most migrants move to a country for a better life, the pool of countries that El Salvador can pull from is rather small.
But that obviously misses the point that many people who would move to El Salvador on using this opportunity either move there to help improve the situation for the average person. Or at the very least would have enough money to afford a better lfiestyle and not be affected by the average life expectancy. Which obviously is going to be low for a country that suffers from poverty and gang violence as El Salvador does.
So the “general” assumption of migrants moving to a “better” countries doesn’t quite apply here.
The life-expectancy of these countries is irrelavent to skilled immigrants or skilled temporary workers. They won’t be drinking the tap-water or partaking in really ANY of the activities that expose enough of that nation’s poor to risk so as to bring down those averaged numbers.
Apologies that I did not zoom in enough to ascertain the true meaning of the graph, but still, women live longer than men in El Salvador, and life expectency has increased over the time period covered.
The gender ratio is close to even, it turns out. So that leaves violent crime and pollution, things abstracted/averaged life-expectancy numbers don’t speak to, and one of which El Salvador has … “addressed”, granted in an incredibly inhumane and distasteful manner.
I had to look up on the map where El Salvador is.
