       > Kenya is encouraging its young people, both skilled and
       unskilled, to leave the country in search of employment
       opportunities elsewhere. Ruto has stated that 5,000 Kenyans
       leave the country every week. “He is the first president to
       openly make the export of workers a public policy. The measure
       is at the top of his political agenda. It’s unprecedented,” said
       political scientist Njahira Gitahi.
       > ...
       > During the 2022 election campaign, Ruto constantly portrayed
       himself as the candidate of the “ordinary people” against the
       elites. “He developed a narrative totally focused on unemployed
       young people, especially the ‘hustlers’ [workers in the informal
       economy], but never mentioned that he intended to send people
       abroad. This argument only appeared when he came to power,”
       Gitahi explained.

       > Gitahi is dubious about the long-term effects of this policy:
       “At school, Kenyans were taught that the brain drain was a
       danger for the country, that it deprived it of its doctors and
       engineers. I find it hard to see how we can build a nation if we
       deprive it of its lifeblood.”

       If doctors emigrate, patients will follow. If engineers
       emigrate, residents will follow. This is the whole point! Just
       let people move freely and it will work out by itself!

       Oops, Scientists May Have Severely Miscalculated How Many Humans
       Are on Earth

       > While most estimates place the current human population at
       around 8.2 billion, a new study suggests we might be vastly
       underrepresenting rural areas.
       > By analyzing 300 rural dam projects across 35 countries,
       researchers from Aalto University in Finland found discrepancies
       among these independent population counts and other population
       data gathered between 1975 and 2010.
       > Such underreporting could have consequences in terms of
       resource allocation within a country, but other experts remain
       skeptical that decades of population counting could be off by
       such a wide margin.
