There's a weird "this country has become a hell hole for women, so let's send our young men away" plan here.

FWIW, I suspect the real issue is that trying to leave for the West is hilariously dangerous, so they're even more inclined to send their sons on a dangerous trip, especially in a very conservative society. At worst, they send money back home, and at best, they get sponsored for family reunification, and they travel via plane to the first world.
