Are today’s European immigration policies rooted in a United Nations report published in 2000? The report, entitled “NEW REPORT ON REPLACEMENT MIGRATION ISSUED BY UN POPULATION DIVISION,” was published by the United Nations’ “Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA).”
The document outlines what the world will look like when massive amounts of citizens from the developing world migrate to the developed world. The Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs refers to this seismic demographic shift as “replacement migration.”
The report warns Europe’s low-fertility rates would require a liberal immigration policy to replace dying generations. Notably, researchers said if Europe does not replace its aging population, it would be nearly 20 million people less than the United States. The report at hand is the earliest and most comprehensive study calling for significant increased levels of immigration to the developed nations.
Per Zerohedge:
The Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) has released a new report titled ?Replacement Migration: Is it a Solution to Declining and Ageing Populations??. Replacement migration refers to the international migration that a country would need to prevent population decline and population ageing resulting from low fertility and mortality rates.
Major findings of this report include:
- In the next 50 years, the populations of most developed countries are projected to become smaller and older as a result of low fertility and increased longevity. In contrast, the population of the United States is projected to increase by almost a quarter. Among the countries studied in the report, Italy is projected to register the largest population decline in relative terms, losing 28 per cent of its population between 1995 and 2050, according to the United Nations medium variant projections. The population of the European Union, which in 1995 was larger than that of the United States by 105 million, in 2050, will become smaller by 18 million.
- Population decline is inevitable in the absence of replacement migration. Fertility may rebound in the coming decades, but few believe that it will recover sufficiently in most countries to reach replacement level in the foreseeable future.
- Some immigration is needed to prevent population decline in all countries and regions examined in the report. However, the level of immigration in relation to past experience varies greatly. For the European Union, a continuation of the immigration levels observed in the 1990s would roughly suffice to prevent total population from declining, while for Europe as a whole, immigration would need to double. The Republic of Korea would need a relatively modest net inflow of migrants — a major change, however, for a country which has been a net sender until now. Italy and Japan would need to register notable increases in net immigration. In contrast, France, the United Kingdom and the United States would be able to maintain their total population with fewer immigrants than observed in recent years.
- The numbers of immigrants needed to prevent declines in the working- age population are larger than those needed to prevent declines in total population. In some cases, such as the Republic of Korea, France, the United Kingdom or the United States, they are several times larger. If such flows were to occur, post-1995 immigrants and their descendants would represent a strikingly large share of the total population in 2050 — between 30 and 39 per cent in the case of Japan, Germany and Italy.
- Relative to their population size, Italy and Germany would need the largest number of migrants to maintain the size of their working-age populations. Italy would require 6,500 migrants per million inhabitants annually and Germany, 6,000. The United States would require the smallest number — 1,300 migrants per million inhabitants per year.
- The levels of migration needed to prevent population ageing are many times larger than the migration streams needed to prevent population decline. Maintaining potential support ratios would in all cases entail volumes of immigration entirely out of line with both past experience and reasonable expectations.
- In the absence of immigration, the potential support ratios could be maintained at current levels by increasing the upper limit of the working-age population to roughly 75 years of age.
- The new challenges of declining and ageing populations will require a comprehensive reassessment of many established policies and programmes, with a long-term perspective. Critical issues that need to be addressed include: (a) the appropriate ages for retirement; (b) the levels, types and nature of retirement and health care benefits for the elderly; (c) labour force participation; (d) the assessed amounts of contributions from workers and employers to support retirement and health care benefits for the elderly population; and (e) policies and programmes relating to international migration, in particular, replacement migration and the integration of large numbers of recent migrants and their descendants.
Mass immigration has largely failed in Europe, with millions of Middle Easterners and Africans unable to find work, ultimately increasing crime levels. For example, The Gateway Pundit reported Sunday that rapes in Sweden have sky-rocketed due to its liberal immigration policies.
A recent study in Sweden found that 92% of all rapes were committed by migrants and refugees.
And 43% of rapes in Sweden – nearly 50% – are child rapes.
10 News reported:
Rapes in Sweden has been soaring since the country started to take in large numbers of Muslim migrants and refugees. According to statistics, 92 percent of all severe rapes (violent rapes) are committed by migrants and refugees. 100 percent of all attack rapes (where victim and attacker had no previous contact) are committed by that same group.
The top-10 list of rapists’ national background shows only one non-Islamic country (Chile). Most rapists have Iraqi background, followed by refugees and migrants from Afghanistan, Somalia, Eritrea, Syria, Gambia, Iran, Palestine, Chile and Kosovo. Migrants and refugees from Afghanistan are 79 times more likely to commit rape than Swedes.
The same pattern is seen all over Western Europe, and in many places, it has an impact on demographics in public spaces…
…New data from Sweden’s national bureau for statistics, BRÅ, shoes that 3,430 rapes were reported during the first six months of 2017, up 14 percent compared to the previous half-year. In all, 9,680 sexual crimes were committed from January to June.
This week, it was reported nearly half of migrants in Germany are on welfare.
Xinhua reported:
Nearly half of those officially registered as unemployed in Germany have a migratory background, the newspaper Welt reported on Tuesday based on an analysis by the Federal Employment Agency.
Some 43.1 percent of a total of 2.5 million individuals who were registered as unemployed in December 2016 were either immigrants or children thereof. In western Germany, where immigration is more common, the share of unemployed individuals with a migratory background was even higher at 49.5 percent.
The state of Hesse topped the table of 16 German provinces with immigrants and their children accounting for 57.7 percent of unemployed residents.
Figures released by the Federal Labor Office back in 2015 showed that the share of individuals with migratory backgrounds had risen to 21 percent of the total population.
While the UN report suggests boosting Europe’s population with migrants from the developing world, it will also have a deeply negative impact on crime and the welfare state. Why didn’t the UN foresee this?
