Leo, let's discuss taxation, retirement, and social rights for long-term immigrants in Eritrea and Yemen.
It's a complex issue. I anticipate significant challenges navigating the systems in both countries.
Starting with Eritrea, how does the tax system treat long-term immigrants?
Eritrea's economy is developing. Tax revenue heavily relies on Eritreans abroad. For immigrants within Eritrea, consistent income tax is difficult due to the scarcity of formal sector jobs.
So, consistent tax collection is a challenge. What about retirement provisions for long-term immigrants?
State pensions exist but are minimal. Long-term immigrants often rely on family or personal savings.
And social rights, such as healthcare and education access?
Access to healthcare and education is limited and often unequal for long-term immigrants. The safety net is weak.
That paints a difficult picture for long-term immigrants in Eritrea. Let's turn to Yemen. What are the prospects there?
Yemen faces significant challenges due to ongoing conflict, decimating infrastructure and social support systems. Political stability is lacking.
Given the circumstances, how does tax collection for long-term immigrants function in Yemen?
Taxes are collected where possible, primarily in the oil sector when operational. Widespread tax collection from long-term immigrants is low priority.
And retirement and social rights?
The concept of a comfortable retirement is optimistic, even more so for long-term immigrants. Family support and personal savings are crucial. Social rights, including healthcare and education, are severely compromised due to the conflict.
Both countries present significant challenges for long-term immigrants regarding taxation, retirement, and social rights.
Indeed. Government support is unreliable. Consider alternative destinations with more robust social safety nets.
