Single young men!

Recent European migration was unique - it has mostly single young men. I find it weirdly suspicious. Let me show you some pictures of migrants and refugees of the past.

Refugees and people fleeing from war and famine are people in distress. There are certain characteristics of how these people come to the safe havens. In general, you will find two distinct groups of people fleeing war:

In one group, overwhelmingly women, children and old people migrate to safer zones leaving the adult males, some as young as 12, to fight the enemy.
In other groups, populations threatened with genocide or famine leave the distressed area leave as families with a mix of males, females, children and old people.

Let us see pictures of refugees from across various decades.

Jews 1930s

WorldWar II Refugees

Korea 1950

Korea, c. 1950. A stream of Korean refugees (whether from North or South is unknown) trudges along a dusty road away from the war. The refugees, mainly women and children, are carrying their possessions on their backs or in bundles on their heads.

Tibet 1960s

Bangladesh 1971

Now let us look at the refugees entering Europe.

The EU migrants are said to be economic migrants, and it is argued that women and children had left first, and now the group that is arriving is male. However, the statistics do not bear this out. The overwhelming number of refugees are males and I worry about this.

In 2015, Time tried to fact-check this and found that this is true. A 2016 article titled Europe’s man problem by Prof. Valerie Hudson quotes the following statistics.

According to Swedish government statistics, as of the end of November, 71 percent of all applicants for asylum to Sweden in 2015 were male. More than 21 percent of all migrants to Sweden were classified as unaccompanied minors, representing more than half of all minor migrants to the country. For accompanied minors, the sex ratio was about 1.16 boys for every one girl. But for unaccompanied minors, the ratio was 11.3 boys for every one girl. In other words, the Swedish case confirms IOM’s statistic that more than 90 percent of unaccompanied minors are male. Indeed, on average, approximately 90 unaccompanied boys entered Sweden every single day in 2015, compared with eight unaccompanied girls.

I did not find updated gender-based statistics from the Swiss agency, but the problem has worsened and is now receiving more attention.

So why are they assembling in the West?

Well, that we will see in the next post. Please subscribe.
