First of all I want to clarify that when talking about not talking about canary island, but any human who lives in a region surrounded by sea on all four corners, although I do analysis based on knowledge (as one I feel) of the Canary current reality.
the island (any island in the world) is usually a person who because of its "isolation" has a privileged life in terms of basic needs, the problems are general to all equally, therefore may not be listed within your individual problem, but collectively. Setting an example, if an island without water, every citizen shall have drinking water problems, so there is a problem of individuals but of society and therefore not the most the previous list of basic needs of the individual.
That said, one feature is that living in a privileged world (with global constraints), it becomes a quite conformist. No need to understand the basis of competitiveness and living in a world that lives on barter services, an idyllic neighborhood to help you, from familiar faces, etc ...
If we speak of the Canary Islands, the indiscriminate increase we have suffered in the last decade and a half, where the population has quadrupled, we have a serious problem that should know circumvent the canary. This problem is first given to be a fact unknown to almost any island, which is none other than competition at all. The canary never needed to be demanding, never needed to be aggressive, never needed to be competitive. A base salary but a stable job was more than enough to have a full life, stable and healthy. Now enter the maelstrom of competitiveness is something that the Canaries must adjust.
This problem is precisely that lower wages are given in the Canaries. There are lower in the Canary Islands because the national entrepreneur decides to pay less in the islands, island is that the employer knows that the canary paying what you need, this is happy. And it is not so, the canary has to learn to be demanding, to be competitive, to leave a job with a better one where you feel well paid, thereby benefiting themselves and also benefits their substitute in the position left free, since the entrepreneur means you pay less than what the job market calls to develop the feature required. A good case
touches me fully, a person of my family, titled and with a large capacity, is working for a miserable salary within the guild that occupies, in fact kills nearly half of what they usually charge their colleagues in the market. My advice was clear, look for something better, where you feel more valued, that will make your you approach the logical salary and your current employer understand that the market wants more.
the canary had better learn to be take by the horns, not only to employers to demand more, but to tourism, which is the current engine but an engine that patronize the canary has allowed the money that occurs he's content with little more than leftovers. I lived in my own flesh. Tourism leaves only a very small percentage of profits to the Canaries, as well as the tourist business has been engaged only a few countries and a clear niche market, the less affluent. A friend told me this past weekend, that if by chance the similar uncertainty in Morocco or decrease, not here again we see a "foreigner" but in the movies.
Maybe it's time for the Canary government actually starts to boost language learning, the Canary people learn to speak English at least, to encourage the development of tourism enterprises Canary Capital, to invest in converting to the islands (and not just a portion of them quite limited) in real tourist attractions, where not only German and English lower middle class want to come to the islands to stick a drunken roll price.
the canary had better put the batteries, it is time that the canary understand once and for all that the enemy is the same and has always been the same. It would be a good start to understand and get to work.
