That sounds like a very reasonable idea. Who doesn't want educated, high-qualified immigration?
Ideally you want your education system to be producing highly educated and qualified workers instead of people who can name 90 genders and orientations - the proposal is not to impose selective migration to have a regular flow of high-qualified immigration, the proposal is to increase the Netherlands' immigration to at least 80 thousand more per year. With no control on the qualifications or age of migrants, their proposal would merely compound their problem, they would do much better to select for aspirant students with good qualifications and adequate finances. Moreover, without an increase in the number and quality of technical schools, yet an increase in unskilled immigrants, they would have failed to remove the limiting factor to their skilled workforce. This will have come at a time where the Dutch are increasingly concerned with assimilating their migrant cultures into the Dutch one, which of course would be impossible with such a high rate of immigration, leading to much the same problems we've always been rattling on about.
Cut or reduce tuition fees/fund bursars for STEM subjects and Technical schools, there you go, that instantly makes the subjects 100% more attractive for those who don't want to cut off an arm to pay for their education. More importantly, it directs students away from subjects that are bloated with graduates and into fields where there are always shortages, to that end Western nations are incredibly retarded. You get the same people saying that bursars for prospecting female students into STEM works in increasing the attractiveness of the field, then turning around and saying that investing in STEM will not work because we need less border control lol
Doing a brief look at the attractiveness of Dutch unis, I noticed they're not in as high demand as English speaking Unis to international students. Probably an unfair reputation given that the Dutch mostly all speak English anyways, so maybe some good advertising of that simple fact could dispel the myth to international students. To financial concerns good maintenance loans or grants, lower tuition fees and the promise of work placement/extended visas upon completion of education (the last is probably the most important) would drastically increase the popular draw of Dutch unis, and moreover ensure that migrants they educate don't just fly over to the USA upon graduation for example. Have a flexible housing policy so you don't deter fundamentalist students, which is a serious concern for atheist Dutch who don't understand why strict Sunnis don't want to live on campus surrounded by drugs, booze and partying.
"I plea for a pro-active immigration policy, which means we should actively search for educated workers", van den Broek says. "We know were they are. They are all over the world. In India, but also in Spain".
This bit is very agreeable in particular. People don't really think "oh I want to move to Netherlands" but if you bump into some international ambassadors from a Dutch Uni capable of selling you some image of world class technical training in a European Uni with subsequent employment in cutting edge companies, well, that sounds so much better doesn't it?
But yeah, from
Randstad, gen z and millennials are the most ambitious and commercially minded generation, but feel they are unprepared for the modern labour market with the education they have. Europeans don't see how they could obviously kill two birds with one stone by teaching their kids and actually looking out for their future instead of responding to everything with "fuck borders and laws and shit". There is also a curious discordance between Westerners and their desire to have eternal economic growth driven by population growth, and their revulsion to actually founding families and growing their population, one that never makes sense without a total embrace of the self as most important. To say nothing of their leaders lel. Imo community is always more important than commerce, even though one hopes never to need choose :]
Capitalism. Capitalism never changes.
Capitalism always changes, just as quickly as one spends loose change
One even fears that the future shall be little more than a conflict to see which capitalism reigns supreme. But that would be ludicrous
