This is why worker protection laws are so dumb. You just can't force other people to give other people money, they'll always find a way not to. Worst case they'll just practically never hire people in your country. So those people are desperate to get into another country without those worker protections, e.g. US or UK or NZ, so they can get a job and make some money. This is happening in France, Italy, Spain, etc.
