> Wouldn't it be a lot simpler to just allow more immigration?
Both in the EU and US, various immigrants (both legal and illegal), have been coming into the continents since the 1960s.
But even with all the immigration, currently there are still near one child fertility rates.
The native inhabitants, both the native born and born from immigrant families, still need to make up the short fall of having their own children.
- nradov 5y agoIn typical EU cities the default housing option is a small 2 bedroom / 1 bath flat. That makes it awkward to have more than one child. Admitting more immigrants further increases competition for very limited housing supplies. Building more housing in those cities would probably be a good idea but realistically it's not going going to happen on any large scale.
