"unaccompanied minors" the ones that claim to be 17y.o. when they can get away with it?


I'm sure an overwhelming number of unaccompanied minor refugees are in fact adults claiming to be 17. /s


"but a study using dental tests in Norway revealed that 9 out of 10 underage refugee children were actually older than 18."

Dude, you are quoting an unsourced study about Norway from an article written in 2010.


Do you really think the profile is different now?

Do you really think people won't lie to get an advantage

Naivete is strong it seems


Sweden has started doing medical age tests on migrants who claim to be minors. The tests are still voluntary and the results are not binding in any way. The first results are in with the 'expected' results: 76% of those claiming to be minors are in fact over the age of 18. they tested 581 asylum seekers (96% were men, 4% women). 442 of them (430 men, 12 women) were over 18 according to the test results. 5 of them (all women) were possibly over the age of 18. 134 of them (133 men, 1 woman) were possibly under the age of 18. None of them were certainly under the age of 18.

So, yes, those who expected the majority to lie about their age have been proven correct.

Just to get back with some new data points:

https://nyheteridag.se/nya-siffror-over-80-procent-av-testad...

Just over 83% is considered to be over 18, ~1% is likely to be over 18, 16% is possibly younger than 18.


Don't be so sure they aren't. They have every incentive in the world to lie. They already violated international law once by seeking refugee status in Sweden instead of first peaceful port.

Either way, even if they are just 16, it does not change the fact that two years later, the vast majority of adult refugees are male.
