Germany has a serious problem: Millions of boomers are retiring, there is no one to replace themGermany's working-age population will shrink by 4.3 million by 2036 as people retire, the birth rate drops and tougher migration policies deter foreign workers, a study warned Monday.Falling numbers of workers spell yet another challenge for Europe's struggling top economy, already battling onerous red tape, high energy costs and fierce competition in its traditional industries."Germany is not on the brink of demographic change -- it is already in the middle of it," said Holger Schaefer from the IW economic institute in Cologne, which published the report."In just a few years, the economy will lack the workers needed to generate prosperity and sustain the welfare state in its current form."The study said that the labour market is set to be hit especially hard by the retirement of "baby boomers", usually defined as those born in the two decades after the end of World War II.With not enough people entering the labour market to replace them, the working-age population will drop by 4.3 million by 2036, to 51 million, a fall of some seven percent, it said.The rate of decline is worse than previously anticipated, because the population has started shrinking earlier than expected.In 2025 Germany's population fell for the first time in many years, by about 100,000 people, and now stands at some 83.5 million. By 2040, it will drop to below 82 million, the IW institute forecast.As well as a declining birth rate, the fall is being driven by a sharp decrease in the number of people moving to Germany, it said.
Migration to the EU's most populous country was set to remain subdued due "to the clouded economic outlook and the federal government's shift in migration policy," the report said.Conservative Chancellor Friedrich Merz's coalition has made tougher immigration policies a priority as he seeks to diminish the appeal of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.The IW institute said the government could arrest the decline in the working age population by encouraging people to work more, and making it easier to attract skilled workers from abroad.https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/german-working-age-population-shrink-104108716.html

>>537134725Once they have deported as many as they possibly can, they should pair up old boomers with property and no kids, with young German couples who would look after them in trade for the house after they pass. They love that shit in Germany.

>>537134725Germany has a huge diaspora and no populist repatriation rhetoric is represented in its politics. Both sides of their political apparatus acknowledge a need for immigration but they draw a complete blank regarding repatriation of ethnic Germans, even though it is common knowledge that much of the German diaspora were WW2 refugees following the forced dissolution of Prussia and the occupation of East Germany.The conservatives end up playing ratchet-effect where they 'grudgingly' concede ground on the immigration question. Diaspora Germans would quickly join German labor unions though and would never work for anything beneath the wages a German would.

>>537134725Sustainable model (according to the UN):> Make women work as much as men> Make women's work as important as men's work> Now women don't have time for kids, since the couple's living standard depends on both of their salaries.I like flexible systems, where people can do what they want, but passing this off as sustainable is simply incorrect. Claiming that it is equal or fair also seems vastly incorrect (tons of exclusive programs for women, none for men in areas where they are weakee).
