Men should get preference in jobs over women
Code:
        Yes     No      Neither
Sweden	2.10%	94.10%	3.80%
Egypt	89.10%	4.30%	6.60%
Natives should get preference in jobs over immigrants
Code:
        Yes     No      Neither
Sweden	11.80%	79.90%	8.30%
Egypt	97.90%	0.20%	1.90%
Jordan	98.50%	0.80%	0.70%

Enjoy :D

Whether this is true or not,my question is,do all these statistics make a country "the worst in the world"?:shifty:

And what about suicide,it is well known that the suicide rate in Sweden is very high,so what does make those ppl (who get equality in all the fields) take their own life?

So is it logical to say that,because suicide rate is high in sweden so it is a worse country than Chad?

Absolutely NOOOOOOOOOOO.It is not logical.

I'm not saying Egypt is better than Sweden,but what u said is illogical,cos maybe the informations you brought up are right but still that doesn't make Egypt n Jordan the worst countries in the world.

alrighty, i'm yet to check the website u posted martin but going with the stats i think u need to look at them in a different perspective. i will use the second stat regarding immigrants not being favored for jobs. in a country with 70+million people ( and not enough resources) finding a job is a nightmare!! and there fore its common sense that egyptains have the priority in the job market bec its tough as it is to find jobs being an egyptain. it should be known that egypt has a lot of immigrants from sudan who have escaped war. they find jobs in egypt part of a UN program, there are also a number of foriegners who decide to come an live here in cairo for numerous reasons ( mainly bec its much cheaper here compared to there countries, and also due to the historical value found in egypt)


as for women in the work place, i cant really give u a straight answer bec i have no clue about how fair there chances are. there are loads of women working but how fair is there chance is sth i dont know much about.

i can safely tell u egypt is a rough place to live in but its def not the worst place on earth. yeah sure there are a million things that annoy me and even depress me but its simply bec life is made tough for us ( by the government) hence making the good in people just vanish!


i think that would be the scenario in any other country with similar circumstances.

Saying that locals should get jobs ahead of immigrants is not racist, in fact i agree with it. If a local and an immigrant had similar or comparable qualifications, i believe the local should get the job ahead of the immigrant.

This coming from someone who has been a foreigner wherever he's went to throughout his life

    What makes you say that?


    Bisco, you realize I wasn't serious right?

    :tup: I wish people had that same mentality here towards illegal immigrants at least.

    Regular immigrants should have an equal opportunity.

    What if the 'immigrant' is a citizen?

    I don't know...I don't really agree with you. The one who's more qualified should get the job. A little competition never hurt anyone.
