UN in 2000: Replacement Migration: Is it A Solution to Declining and Ageing Populations?
October 18th, 2024And now…
Bill Clinton: "We got the lowest birthrate we’ve had in well over a hundred years, we’re not a replacement level, which means we’ve gotta have somebody come here if we want to grow the economy.”
Democrats want to replace American citizens with migrants.

Building upon these estimates and projections, the present study considers five different scenarios with regard to the international migration streams needed to achieve specific population objectives or outcomes for the eight countries and two regions mentioned above.
The real product, at the aggregate (global) level, certainly depends on the productivity of labor.
Thanks to competition (for jobs), the product gets shared in such a way as to maximize profits, i.e. wages get as low as they can (thus stimulating work). Schematically, welfare sets the pay levels through the equalization of satisfaction.
Mathematically, pensions can get lower if the population ages while productivity stagnates. The global median age rises by about 1 % per year. Labor productivity growth is slowing down, and coming to average about 1 % as well. Of course this says little about inequality.

If the West stop murdering its own unborn babies and socially engineering society to have as few kids as possible, the declining population argument would not exist.
