IMMIGRATION thread

[Kralizec]

Europe has an aging, dwindling population. If it weren't for immigration, that would've been a very, very serious problem by now.

The migrants/ageing argument is essentially that newcomers will help the existing younger generation pay for the pensions of older generations. The problem is that refugees, in general, tend to have very poor employment rates even years or decades after they first arrived in the host country. This might be due to lax integration policies in the past though, that are still influencing today's figures.
