Document Summary
Demographers predicts that most of the future population growth will be from the global south. The richer you are the less children you"ll have. Too fast: high demand for kid services, school and affordable housing, job creation. Too slow: high demand for old people services: health care and pension payments. Antinatalist/pronatalist (baby bonus, day care help, tax breaks, citizenship breaks) Usually in developed countries native-born growth rate is actually slow or negative, needs immigration to maintain economy and tax -base. Pros of immigration: diversity, new ways of life, new skills, and reinforcements of the workforce. Cons: may have a hard time fitting in and accepted. Case study: french ban on muslim head scarves. Passed in 2004, banning the wearing of any prominent and visible religious symbols while attending public schools. Citizenship and permanent home in one country but livers temporarily for work purposes in another. Mainly work in labour-intensive jobs, ones the locals don"t want to do.
