Young Generation: Generation

Immigration Policy Dept: If it had an immigration policy like that of the United States, it could fill all the gaping holes in the workforce that will open up when the present adult generation retires, and there would be enough people working and paying taxes to support that older generation in its "golden years". Otherwise, there will be barely one worker for each retiree, and their post-retirement years will be far from golden, according to Winnipeg Free Press. There would be young Europeans coming too, fleeing the 25-to-50 per cent youth unemployment rates of Spain, Italy and Greece. Some Americans would also come, like former automobile workers from Rust-Belt states hoping that their skills would find employment in what is now the world's biggest car-maker. China's politics wouldn't deter them; they have already tried being free and poor, and some of them would be willing to trade and what if China, flush with its new wealth, opened its doors to mass immigration? It would make sense from an economic and social point of view, because its one-child-per-family policy has produced a young generation far smaller than the one that now does most of the work. China's population is "ageing" its average age is going up faster than any other country in history, and it could certainly do with some more young people. So let's suppose China opens the gates. Stay with me on this. The immigrants would come from all over the world. Probably most would be from south and south-east Asia India, Pakistan, Burma, Indonesia, the Philippines , but plenty of Russians would come too. So would Arabs from the slums of Cairo, and Congolese from the slums of Kinshasa, and Mexicans fleeing the bloody war on drugs. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
