EU Calls Migration a ‘Necessity’ to Tackle Demographic Decline
Hungarian Conservative ^ | July 17, 2026 | Joakim Scheffer

Posted on 07/17/2026 2:00:56 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

The European Commission has placed migration at the centre of its answer to demographic decline after publishing its third Demography Report, warning that Europe’s workforce is shrinking while its population rapidly ages.

According to EUobserver, Commissioner for Demography Dubravka Šuica gave migration particular weight, describing it as ‘a necessity’ for countering a declining workforce because most prospective migrants are of working age.

According to the report, the EU population is projected to peak at 453.3 million in 2029 before falling to 398.8 million by 2100. By 2038, Europeans aged between 20 and 40 are expected to be outnumbered by those over 65. The working-age population could contract by an average of 1.2 million annually until 2050—or twice that number under a zero-migration scenario.

‘As fertility rates decline, migration has become an important driver of population change,’ the report states, ‘counterbalancing the negative effects of population ageing and labour force contraction.’ It adds that ‘migration can help address labour shortages and support economic growth’, presenting legal migration from outside the EU as an opportunity to fill vacancies and promote innovation.

It’s true. Still they can pick and choose who they let in. Don’t have to be caucasian. Asians can be honorary whites. 4.5 million white South Africans that might need a new country. 2 thousand Falkland islanders on the military dole should move. France has plenty of former colonies they can import from. It would be a long process but better than what they got going now.

Importing Muslims and Africans isn’t the answer.

They imported foreigners with the notion that they will pay for the promised excessive retirement pensions, but this is turning out not to be so simple.

“According to the report, the EU population is projected to peak at 453.3 million in 2029 before falling to 398.8 million by 2100.”

Nice try, but the what-would-become EU countries had a population of 220 million in 1900 and they managed two huge world wars with it. So what the hell are they talking about.

Migration. They keep using that word. I don’t think it means what they think it means.

Heaven forbid that wages EVER go up in proportion to any increase in productivity.

Keep importing unskilled parasites. That is sure to end well.

Doesn’t anything else matter to the replacement people, don’t they see people as anything other than worker bees and their great nations and cultures in the present, rather than already forgotten and with no place in the present or the future?

The people they’re getting now are from Europe’s former colonies. Places where the locals told the imperialists they could run things better. (Algeria and Pakistan are prime examples.) So well did they do, that they’re applying how they live and run things back home to countries in Europe.

The migrants they are letting in will be a drag vs. a boon for their society and culture. Really, it is just suicide.

Why?

What is SOOOO bad about having a declining population? Housing gets more affordable, unemployment declines and the pay for your nationals is quite good. It could be that as housing becomes more affordable and good jobs relatively more plentiful for your native population, your birthrate picks up again. Nobody ever mentions the benefits of a shrinking population - and there are benefits.

*IF* you genuinely felt it necessary to bring in immigrants, why on earth would you not careful screen them to ensure you were getting younger people who are culturally compatible.....think Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Belarus, etc etc...or middle eastern Christians....all of whom are White.....or at least people who have shown themselves to have a low propensity for crime and violence, and who have a good work ethic and are likely to be net contributors like Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, etc etc?....maybe even Latin and South Americans who are overwhelmingly Christians who come from a Western background?

The absolute LAST people on earth you ever should have brought in are military age Muslim males and military age African males. Yet that's exactly what they have overwhelmingly gotten.

Then they compounded it by giving them public benefits. If these people are there to plug gaps and help your countries economically, WHY ON EARTH would you allow them to live on the public dole? Its one thing to say you should have solidarity for your own people. Its quite another to say you should just give away your people's hard earned wealth to foreigners who hate you, refuse to assimilate and who commit rampant crimes against your people.

Where is it written that populations need to continuously increase? Isn't that "unsustainable" and environmentally "irresponsible"?

We always here about the "demographic challenges" in advanced first world societies like Japan, for example. For all of the criticism Japan gets for having a very restrictive immigration policy, they are actually ahead of the curve. The same people criticizing Japan, claiming that they have a "population crisis" are the same ones telling us that AI is going to take millions of jobs in the near future. If that is the case, then why is mass immigration necessary into any country? It will result in more jobless people who will need to be supported, not to mention that unrest that will occur. Japan gets it.

Unfortunately, Europe and the US don't seem to get it, and will continue to import the culturally incompatible third world hordes that will completely destroy any vestige of the cultural history of the Western nations they infiltrate.

That's the excuse. To bail out the socialist pension and healthcare schemes but the foreigners they've brought in have been a huge drain on public finances. The vast majority of them live in free housing, are provided free food, free healthcare, free education etc. Except its not free of course. The locals are forced to pay for it all AND its a magnet for ever more third world plunderers to flock in.
