minus-squareThe Pantser@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·7 hours agoWhy include CA but not Mexico? Canada should have been excluded since they are a boarder country too.
minus-squareqjkxbmwvz@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·6 hours agoCanada has roughly the same HDI ranking as the US, whereas Mexico is somewhat lower. So from the “looking for a better life” perspective, Canadians don’t have an incentive to move to the US (other way around actually, from HDI). Just a guess though.

minus-squareqjkxbmwvz@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-23 hours agoWell yes, but so is Canada, which has a higher HDI than the US. Parent was asking why Mexico is excluded from the list while Canada is not. By “don’t have incentive” I’m just referring to an on-paper incentive from an HDI ranking.
