Of the 17 million Dutch inhabitants at the end of 2019, 13% were born abroad (first generation) and 11% were children of immigrants (second generation).
Absolutely eye-watering numbers. Almost 25% of the population is now foreigners!
That's not a nation. That's a future war zone.
women from high fertility groups adjust their fertility downwards over time
translation: The degeneracy slowly seeps into the immigrants as well
The simpler more traditional explanation has always been in poor societies, Children are a financial asset, they can work and provide services to the family. Over here they are a net financial drain.
True, but the anti-family, anti-natal, party-girl-to-career-woman propaganda can't be helping.
Still, we could definitely send kids to work again. There are plenty of jobs they could do, and as long as they're not at risk of injury and aren't working long hours, I don't see the problem with it.
The rapid pace of immigration into the Netherlands has greatly increased the Dutch population, but not the sustainability of the Dutch welfare state.
Free money and immigration is expensive. Who could have predicted this.
Immigration from non-Western regions is usually unfavourable for public finances. This applies especially to the areas of origin Caribbean, West-Asia, Turkey and North, Central and West Africa with net costs ranging from €200,000 to €400,000 per immigrant, and Morocco, the Horn of Africa and Sudan with net cost of €550,000 to €600.000 per immigrant. By way of comparison: an average Dutch native is roughly ‘budget-neutral over’ his or her life.
Immigration does not provide a stable solution to population ageing because the underlying problems of low fertility and dejuvenation are not resolved. On average, fertility of immigrants is below the replacement level as well, partly because women from high fertility groups adjust their fertility downwards over time, and partly because immigrants from most countries in the Americas, Europe and Eastern Asia already have low fertility rates.
Absolutely eye-watering numbers. Almost 25% of the population is now foreigners!
