    most of them have bachelors

    Only 30% of people in Europe have bachelors degrees, about the same as the u.s. Thats higher than in developing countries, say India at 8%, but a majority of people in both countries don’t have degrees.

    It’s a common misconception by those with tertiary education in the first world that everyone else has tertiary education because they only talk to people in their social class with tertiary education.

      You’re showing me an average with the entire population of Turkey and the Balcans. Look better at your data, please. Now consider where the majority of migrants are going and are being expected. It is not a genuine source of comparison. It’s closer to 40%. Besides, like i also mentioned, it’s not just higher education.

        The original post was about Europe, that’s the European average. Even the E.U. average is 30% and that doesn’t include turkey and some of the Balkans. Also the point still stands even for the best example of Luxembourg at 46%, it’s still less than half. Most people in Europe do not have a bachelors.
