I make it my personal responsibility in life to constantly bring up the necessity of immigration as the solution to age disparity and population decline. There are working people. There are as many as you could ever need, tens of millions, perhaps hundreds. It's never going to be an issue which can't be solved with immigration.
I don't see how this is a solution so much as delaying the problem for future generations to deal with. What happens when the countries the immigrants are coming from start to face the same issue (if it isn't happening for them already?) It's basically the population equivalent of the "one more lane bro" philosophy.
It is absolutely happening already. Many of those countries are experiencing issues with being below replacement and a hollowing out of their workforce at the same time. For many, they have gotten old before they got rich, which will make further advancements difficult.
Dude, immigration is the root cause for a whole range of problems if not done correctly. See prime example germany.
This is the first time I hear this on Lemmy. Usually I hear it on Reddit and if I ask that person questions, they say something like "I saw a black on the bus yesterday and he picked on a lady"
Germany's a pretty amazing country and the only downsides I've seen lately is the rise of xenophobic locals pushing politics to the right.

Add Canada to that as well.
Polite so long as you're white, the canadian way. Ask a mounty for a starlight tour sometime.
Not in that way there were too many too fast without proper home and healthcare consideration post COVID there is some pull back but the damage is done. Sucks for those immigrating and those here as well.
ah, fair enough
sorry for the harsh reply
