@saczko_dominik But Germanic tribes lived there before slavs? If we want to play this silly game then germanics are the true indigenous.

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@jonatanpallesen @KinderheimRune And how do you propose to achieve this?

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@Valen10Francois @TomaszFroelich Kulturkampf was primarily religious rather than ethnic. But yes, others did similar but France started earlier and was more systematic imo. Jules Ferry etc

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@Valen10Francois @TomaszFroelich France was uniquely systematic though

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@BirthGauge @Ihavenoname2008 @trispora @DerBaronvM @andyd10 Aren't DE targeting India primarily?

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@BirthGauge @AR_Demografie @Annatar_I @Aaronal16 Fair enough but Germany has one of the worst demographic situations in the western world. I assumed that would lead to a higher equilibrium net migration.

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@AR_Demografie @BirthGauge @Annatar_I @Aaronal16 I'm guessing this is partly related to the cyclical nature of the economy. But I would've thought a higher net migration would be demanded given the demographics?

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@AR_Demografie @BirthGauge @Annatar_I @Aaronal16 Tangential Q but what do you roughly estimate net migration will be this year?

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@Swagraptor2 @TheOnlyDSC I'm no expect on USA factors but I believe black Americans were far more likely to live in houses with lead paint and live in inner city regions where leaded petrol concentration was higher.

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@Swagraptor2 @TheOnlyDSC Lead poisoning is the other big theory

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@GermanSimply_ Real answer is ofc Hannover but I'd probably say Munich in this list.

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@Navier_Tokes @Econosave @blagden_david Indeed, but there really shouldn't be any long term unemployed economic migrants by definition.

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@32a80064 @Econosave @blagden_david Yeah that's very true, it's pretty much the Asian solution to the problem. But good luck trying to do this politically. FWIW I think migration is only an option for the next 10-20 years anyway, fertility rates are collapsing across the world and these countries are developing.

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@Econosave @blagden_david It's not the population size itself that matters much, it's the dependency ratio; the ratio of pensioners to working age people. Our demographic trends lead to a much worsening dependency ratio.

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@BirthGauge @MartinKolk Do you think this will apply to all western countries too?

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@HearLars99199 @BirthGauge @Annatar_I Indeed but it was closer to 0.5 iirc

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@BirthGauge @Annatar_I Interestingly the gap between countries like Sweden and France and historical laggards e.g. Germany is really narrowing

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@AR_Demografie So a total population drop of around 100k?

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@KrahMax Also, die Babyboomers hätten mehr Kinder haben sollen?

[BenKent6 @Kent6Ben]

@AR_Demografie I guess the question at this point is whether anything can realistically be done about it? Because a severely ageing population isn't going to end well.
