It's a developed nation problem.
In properly developed countries with socialism and high standards of living, education is a serious problem. We don't focus on it anymore. After all, kids were raised believing that they will do just fine if they do just fine. Also, free market capitalism has driven home ownership so high that even with a top job, a young person can't buy an apartment until at least their mid to late 20s.
We depend on underdeveloped countries with corrupt governments to provide good people because horrible countries like India where the prime minister sees less than half the people as human beings and runs a "worse than apartheid" nation gives huge incentives for people to work as hard as possible to escape to a place where you don't have to be worried that your daughter might be stoned to death in the middles of the village for committing the crime of being violently raped.
Americans lack incentives to perform well.
Good pay is nice, but this isn't the boomer generation. A good apartment in the city and enough money to out, rent a ride share and take some vacations is great.
Owning a house sucks. Long commutes, new car (and payments) every few years, shoveling, mowing, fixing the roof, etc... all the time. That's for the boomers. Who needs a big crap house which you just fill with crap to store even more crap?
If I were 30 years younger, I'd have bought a 70m.sq. apartment in the city, dumped the car and bought a workshop with some friends.
