Describe the demographic impact migration has on high-income host countries. What role does migration play in the labor market of these nations? How would productivity be impacted if migration patterns were to dramatically change?
What will be an ideal response?
High-income nations rely on migration to offset their low birth rates and declining populations. Migration decreases the dependency ration in nations such as the United States and Canada and fuels the economy. The text discusses numerous examples of how migration fuels economic growth. Migrants perform necessary tasks particularly when their skills are complimentary to those of the native population. In short, migration is good for high income nations, and migrants make tangible and valuable contributions to these economics by starting businesses, etc. GDP would decline by an estimated 5% per capita without migration.
