[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7786758, member: 718"] To maintain 1995 population level to 2050, never mind increasing it, at the current average birth rate would require inward migration of 1.2 million or 40,000 annually until 2025 [which is no longer happening], yet the number of old people, older than 65, will increase from 9 million in 1995 to 13 million, while those of working age who will largely finance and increasingly care for them will decline from 39 million in 2010 to 33 million in 2050. This decline in working age people has been accelerated greatly and put in stark perspective this year because rather than a net increase of migrants there has been a very steep outward migration [due to you know what] resulting in a shortage of labour that is effecting people's lived directly already, never mind 2050. The projections are somewhat flexible and seen, in the light of current circumstances, to be grossly over counting the numbers likely to be of working age and paying taxes in future. This is a potential disaster for our children and grandchildren's economic prospects and living standards going forward. [/QUOTE]
