Personally I have nothing against migration and people moving around the globe. Pretty well everybody on this site has done it. My only concern is that nagging feeling that , besides the pensions problem, we might actually be better with less people. For all the good intent in reducing energy consumption etc. the best way to use the energy and environment would actually be de-population. Which by Malthusian catastrophe theory will happen anyway if, and when, we run out of food or energy.
Reforming migration policy will benefit Europe after the recession and address problems posed by ageing populations, according to a new UN report.
The 2009 Human Development Report says migration can benefit all concerned - those who move, those in destination countries and those who stay at home.
It says there is little connection between migrants and unemployment or wage decreases in local populations.
