The radical report, titled ‘Replacement Migration: Is It a Solution to Declining and Ageing Populations?’ advocates an influx of immigrants as a means of supporting an ageing population.
It projects that over the next 50 years the population of several western countries, including the UK, Germany, France and Italy, will steadily decline unless measures are taken to reverse the trend.
Penned in 2001, the report has resurfaced in the wake of the migrant crisis sweeping Europe.
It reads: “The new challenges of declining and ageing populations will require comprehensive reassessments of many established policies and programmes, including those relating to international migration.
“Focusing on these two striking and critical population trends, the report considers replacement migration for eight low-fertility countries... and two regions.
“Replacement migration refers to the international migration that a country would need to offset population decline and population ageing resulting from low fertility and mortality rates.”
The two regions the report focusses on is Europe and the European Union.
When breaking down migration into the European Union, it hypothesised the EU would need an extra 612,000 people per year between 2000-2025, and 1.3 m per year from 2025-2050 to prevent the overall population declining.
It adds: “The annual numbers of immigrants who would be needed to prevent the population of working-age from declining are about double the numbers received in the last decade.
“If one wishes to keep active support ratios at levels closer to what they are currently, without large numbers of immigrants, serious consideration would have to be given to increasing active participation in the labour force beyond the age of 65 years.”
The report states that if the current situation continued unchanged some countries would see their entire population decrease by a quarter or one third.
In order to support the older generations the retirement age would need to be raised to 75.
Recent figures from Eurostat, the statistical arm of the European Union (EU), revealed that without migration Italy's population will plummet by 10 million, from 60.6m to 51.5m by 2050, raising Italy's average age to 53.7.
The Italian minister for regional affairs, Enrico Costa, called the figures a "doomsday scenario" and has urged more to be done to promote domestic birth rates.
He advocated Italy adopting more policies to promote domestic births, adding: “We need structural measures”.
The politician added national plans of individual EU states were not enough to reverse the decline in home births, but EU-wide policies are needed.
The report itself advocates an overhaul of policies geared towards immigration.
It says: "The new challenges being brought about by declining and ageing populations will require objective, thorough and comprehensive reassessments of many established economic, social and political policies and programs."
Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel has come under fire fore her 'open door' policy for migrants, which has seen hundreds of thousands settle across the country.
More than one million people have headed to Europe since last year, dubbed the migrant crisis, with national governments' varying in their response.
Squalid camps have sprung up at borders, notably Idomeni at the Greece-Macedonia border at the Jungle at Calais.
Chancellor Merkel's ruling CDU (Christian Democratic Union) party received a drubbing in the elections for state parliaments in recent months, losing ground to the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
Her party is widely expected to lose the general election next year.
Yes. Of all the peoples in the world to choose from, why let in the ones who want to rape, enslave and kill you?
Screw you, UN I’d say...
If you want people to breed you have to allow them a certain amount of space. If you dump a large number of people from some place else in their area their rate of reproduction goes down.
At the same time because you have taken the population pressure off in the place that you took your "migrants" from they will continue to have children at an accelerated rate.
Which allows you to claim that you are trying to "fix" the problem you caused.
I know, I know: the Europeans are too busy having sex to have babies. Babies just get in the way.
People who don’t want children are not going to all of a sudden make the decade or two-long sacrifice that raising a child requires for a couple of extra dollars at tax return time.
For one thing, tax deductions/credits are based on the whims of the government and can change at any given year. I can’t see too many basing that decision on that.
The tried and true method for increasing the population without immigration is to strictly adhere to the teachings of the Catholic Church. There are many other obvious benefits as well.
Ask N. American aboriginals (”Indians”) what happens, when you have open borders. Sub-replacement birth rate + unrestricted immigration = national and cultural self-genocide.
There’s a saying used by people who buy and sell things, good and services: `Bad business is worse than no business.’
Bringing in surly, hateful religious bigots to ensure your future is bad business and pretzel logic.
Cultures this suicidally stupid deserve to be destroyed.
These were never refugees......never intended to be so either...this is a redistribution of violent populations into western nations....thus martial law can go into affect and a host of other venues once the host population rebels.
This will make you sick....”Sweeden to give ISIS fighter defecters housing grants and free driving licences to encourage them to reintegrate into their communities...
So how many of them will not be defectors at all??? The world leaders have all gone insane and we are net if Trump doesn’t win this!

hey EU. This is what you get after listening to all the libs telling you to get an abortion.
That ....and setting things up for control.....you cannot bring in violent populations into peaceful ones without conflicts between them and the citizens....they know it....so once the host country citizens rebel fighting among the population ensues....thus you can bring the countries under military control for “their own safety”....establish marshall law and a host of other things.....and you can be certain this will come with the media propaganda that it’s for the good “of World Peace”.
Indians were nomadic tribes. Europeans were settlers, not illegal aliens.
Sure, young Muslims will happily work hard and pay high taxes to take care of old Christians. Sure, sure. Happily.
We need to promote home boy births. If we need to have a program for child care it would be a small price to pay to bypass a massive dump of Somalis
They like to have it both ways.
From one side of their mouth, they claim that there are too many people in the world, and from the other side they claim that a falling population in Europe is a crisis.
Another ruse by the Kanamits...er, I mean Elites to mask their REAL intent:
Hilarious.
