@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
@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.
@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?
@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.
@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.
@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.
@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.
