Can we put the myth that it's only men who are coming to death?

It seems that it was men first but that it's changed now with more and more women and children probably rejoining with their husbands and fathers

It's primarily men coming to Europe per official migrant data released by European nations. Around 67% of migrants are male, mostly young and unmarried.

That link is hardly a primary source; it's some ridiculous agenda-driven website.

Why would anyone be surprised that the majority of the migrants are able-bodied young men? Who is the most likely to survive the journey and have at least some realistic chance to get employment: a young male, a pregnant woman, a toddler, or an uneducated woman? Of course the able-bodied young male.

Then when these young men without any qualifications come to for example Scandinavia, they are been told that uneducated labour is not needed, hasn't been in decades, and that a family unification is next to impossible if you have no qualifications, a job or pretty much any basis to stay. From Sweden and Finland migrants have left in their thousands, as they cannot get a job and thus a family unification anyway. They were tricked that in Europe there is a need for labour even if you have no education, and when you're in, all your family can join you. This is not the case. And organised crime do a lot of money tricking people to try their luck.

I was talking in more recent terms. That website takes its data from the European Council of Human Rights which even published its article talking about this rise in female migration.

I'm not denying that over the years male migration has always been higher but that's because men have been the ones with the most chances to survive the journey, to work in whichever field they can (most of them are unskilled so lack specialization) once they come and then seek for a reunification through legal routes. The myth i wanted to dispell was that it wasn't only young males who were coming but that there are families, single women, ecc. that are involved and a quite large number of them.

Females and or children traveling alone and unprotected are ripe for sexual abuse and or physical violence along with being forced or tricked into "white slavery" (prostitution). This is happening already with this wave of Muslim "migrants" to some extent. Such things have been pretty much the way for ages... Hundreds of Eastern European and other females have been forced into the sex trade already in their attempts to reach Western Europe. Yes they will get to Paris, London, even America, but they will be turning tricks to pay off their "debts". An amount they are never sure of and always seems to be increasing.


Usually the time honored tradition is males go first; establish some sort of residency, find work, then send for their families/wives.

Improb wrotes "this year". But your figures are from last year.

The percentage of males is constantly falling, whereas the percentage of womens and especially kids is constantly rising:

Mehr Flüchtlingsfrauen und -kinder kommen nach Europa - Politik - Süddeutsche.de

For January 2016:

Males: 43%
Womens: 21%
Kids / teenagers: 36%

You are wrong, its arabic men who are into blondes, and northern european/germanic looking women (german, swedish, dutch, norwegian, danish, etc ). A lot of arabic women stick to arabic or more mediterranean looking men.
