>reduce the cost of meds or services for people above a certain age
Show me the demographics of these countries. Are babies being born at rates assumed by their old-age social safety nets? Or even above replacement rate?
- jleyank 1y agoCanada does, and the population has grown due to immigration. Google says Germany does this. You can probably find what other g20 countries do this. There are also supplemental pensions and/or tax credits or deductions based on age and income. Editing as I can’t reply to reply below. Births are drains on the system for 18-28 years. Canadian immigrants must pass a points based system that biases towards needs. such people can pay their taxes from arrival. Refugees aren’t quite the same, but I don’t know the correct labels for the difference.

- pchangr 1y agoIt was net positive in all the studies I found. Here’s some for Germany https://www.bertelsmann-stiftung.de/en/topics/latest-news/2014/november/welfare-state-profits-from-migration https://www.bertelsmann-stiftung.de/en/topics/latest-news/20... https://www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/306683/1/GLO-DP-1530.pdf https://www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/306683/1/GLO-DP-1530... In Canada, economic immigrants are net positive while refugees and sponsored (family reunion) immigrants are net negative. https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/102505/1/MPRA_paper_102505.pdf https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/102505/1/MPRA_paper_102505.p...
