The main problem with the EU labor system is the language barrier. No worker can truly move freely when every move represents a different language and culture. This is especially true for eastern Europe.
Eastern Europe is not in the EU though. I know Ukraine and Georgia want to join, but that will be a long process. And Russia is not yet broken to smaller countries, so Don-Kuban republic, Russia and Karelia aren't countries. Yet. And Belarus is still a dictatorship.
on top of language and culture barrier, non eu citizen cannot just like eu citizen moves to another eu country , they have to go through whole new process, by applying all kind of documents and apply a new residence in the new eu country , which they wont have the benefits of long term eu residency from its own host eu country .
I don't have anything against this idea, but I believe it is not the solution to EU's problems. Migrants are going to move in EU, but they are going to face the same problems Europeans already have and they will not have more children than EU residents have, because they are going to face the same problems that the current residents have. Using immigration to "solve" this problem will only completely change the EU in the long run. Better or worse, time will tell. Immigrants are needed and welcome as long as they adapt to EU's culture and standards and work instead of living on our social welfare only, but they are only a short-term solution. Long-term, politicians/scientists/etc. should better concentrate at identifying the causes of people having less children and working on them, like more child care available to everybody until 18:00 and to shift workers, better paid child care workers, better schooling and better paid teachers, more women rights etc.. The list goes on...
That will not happen, they'll keep kicking the can down the road to make sure there are enough workers all while undermining European identity more and more. This looks more like a ''European'' mega corporation than an organisation trying to unite Europe at this point. European between '''' because demographically it will hardly be European if this path is followed
The evidence shows, over and over, immigrants have more children than the native born population and they have a higher labour productivity. It also helps to grow our international business networks in the long term. All three being vital for keeping up the living standards of the EU. It's not a magic solution but it is a very important part of it if the EU wishes to remain relevant in a very globalised & competitive world where we have the USA, China & soon India rising up.
Currently 2nd year in Latvia as an American, but most likely to leave for masters program in another EU country reseting my time. This will make life so much easier since my goal is eventually getting EU citizenship with one of the countries.
@@ChangesOfTomorrow When you ask people why people used to have more kids, they will give you a simple awnser, because they needed to have someone to take care of them as they got older. Now we are getting older than average and have fewer kids than ever. People think that we don't need kids to take care of anymore, but we still do, a false disconnect has just been created. Now they are just trying to plug the hole with immigrants (and because corporations want more consumers and labour) at the expense of social cohesion. But even though the stream of immigrants is endless, the problem keeps existing because they also have fewer kids. So either the pension system (and drive for more consuming) is reformed, or we will hollow out or nations until all there is left are old natives and young immigrants whiping their ass
@@sebe2255 no, people had more children in the past because they were an asset, a quick addition to the workforce of the household. Now children are an expense and a significant one at that. Children are a poor retirement plan. Do not expect them to take care of you or they’ll feel it and resent you. Plenty of lonely old people with children who want nothing to do with them
This is a bad thing. Migrants that move to a country will be less likely to stay in such country to move to a richer one. This makes poorer states worse off,
I'm not sure whether making Europe more dependent on draining workers from the rest of the world is a good idea. Europe just needs to have more children. And when it comes to competing with the Anglosphere, the main problem is that Anglo-Saxon culture is much more vibrant than that of continental Europe. The UK was not a member of Schengen, and still most people moved right there for job opportunities.
Birth rates will probably start to rise again but not any time soon. In the meantime, most European countries have a declining population and migrants are needed everywhere! At least to try and keep populations stable if not growing.
@@samraosmanovska4077 No they won't! World's best natural contraceptive are rising food prices and the best one of all: RISING HOUSING PRICES! Never in history has there been a better contraceptive than these 2 phenomena! As a society gets wealthier and also cost of living gets more expensive, people rethink the whole concept of having a "happy big family". It's now more of a burden to have kids, than a blessing, which goes against the natural cycle of life. (We're here on this planet with a purpose) Populations can only be kept stable if families have AT LEAST 2 kids; (obviously 2 to replace both parents, 3 to 4 would be preferable but that needs a whole revamping of tax plans in order to stimulate people having more kids and still managing to maintain same lifestyle as people who only have 2)
@@vargvikernes8357 That is very ignorant of the actual situation in Japan. The weight of their demographic crisis is getting heavier and heavier every year, and this applies a tremendous amount of pressure on the younger generations. Combine this with a culture that always gave priority to elders, and you obtain young Japanese who are under constant strain and their living conditions are constantly worsening. And it will get a lot worse before it gets better. Don't idealize Japan.
Why doesn't EU work on improving demographics of Europeans rather than on relying in immigrants. I predict if things keeo going like this there will be many problems in future and possibly wars. Your own people should always be priority.
Because its easy. It solves so many easy problems for politicians to win elections. More immigrants means cheaper labor, more votes, more GDP, more money printing, more ponzi scheme to exploit them to make the rich richer.
A lot of people just don't want large or any families, when there's so much opportunity and/or stress in life. You can't force people to have families either, and we're already doing a lot to lessen the stress of life (social medicine and education, good labor laws, ect.) Immigration is kind of the only effective way to maintain a large work-force, in a highly industrialized and free society. But sure, there are bad and good ways to handle immigration.
@@TheBooban True. That is why I don't understand why people keep choosing these corrupt politicians who don't care about their people. I know trend is changing like in Italy and Sweden and I hope it continues like that but as long as people like Ursula who aren't chosen by people keep staying in power we will suffer more and more.
@@TotallMax13 When people say it is hard to have children I just feel like shooting myslef. People in past lived on few pieces of bread if they even had that and we in 21st century, during the most advanced and bountiful stage of humanity can't have children is astonishing. I am not saying you are saying that but in general. And what stress. Is it more stressful to fear if you will die tomorrow because you don't have anything to eat or that someone insulted you today and you are depressed now. Stress was always part of humanity but humans just knew how to deal with it because they must. People are weak today and that is the problem. And cause of that are bad politicians and examples in society. And immigration isn't needed actually. Best example is Japan but of course that isn't possible for every country. But demographics is the most important thing for every country. You don't have to force anyone to have children but just show them that it is the right thing.
@@snokehusk223 I don't think we should just 'have' children willy nilly, like they did in the old days, when children were more of a necessity. Actually a lot goes into raising children properly and being a good parent. Mental stability, emotional availability, secure finances, good support networks of relatives & friends, ect. People before didn't care much about that, because they didn't have the information readily available and having children was just a thing you did. If a person doesn't feel like he has the maturity and stability, or even the willingness to raise a child, then they shouldn't. We need more children that are loved and wanted, not children from broken homes, where they can barely scrape by. Sure, it's a double-edged sword, but I'd give priority to having more good people within a smaller population, than just having a large mono-ethnic population.
EU needs more family oriented policy and more effective integration systems. Attracting talent from outside and making it easier to move and work is great but far from enough.
@@Qnexus7 Ultimately it is very hard to solve without taking incredibly unpopular measures, like drastically cutting into healthcare and pension funds. It is no wonder that most politicians go for an easy but temporary solution. But yeah you’d have to drastically reduce the spending in healthcare, and make it less of an unsustainable pyramid scheme, which will affect the care for a lot of people. But ultimately that is the issue, those people that need care now didn’t have enough kids to take care of them. That fundamental human condition, which was taken for granted 100 years ago is still there. Alternatively you can say, fuck it, open the flood gates, and hope that you can automate enough jobs by the time the welfare state is about to collapse again. Which will happen as immigrants get less kids themselves. But this would completely erase European nations and identities, and I do not support this. There is no easy solution that helps and pleases everyone. Which is what a lot of people pretend there is
@@sebe2255 really? Cutting public healthcare will get people to make more kids? You are looking for the solution in the past, but its more of a phese of societal growth. Some are behind thus still make lots of kids like in the old days. Then there is mentality, ideology and such. The problem our western, european in particular society has on this reguard is the high cost to sustain and grow a human. Thus there are myriads of possible policies and economic solutions to address it. Then there is the cultural-ideological phase and here its more complicated. How do you convince yourself and the people in your environment to have more kids especially when they cost so much? We also live in a period of hyper individualization and many traditional values are put into question but maybe we can reevaluate and reconceptualise them to find their place in our world. Many things will change like family structures shifting more from atomic to enlarged family models. We can also make changes towards betterment of our environments specifically cities, more walkable, cittizen friendly, social activities and so on, in EU thats one of our main aces. And most of all an economic shift towards progress of quality of life not only for individuals but for families too. Ps. We must take into account that after wwii many western intellectuals groups were mainly preoccupied with overpopulation thus in some ways their influence has impacted to some degree future policies, development, economic trends and so on. Maybe now its the right time we can start being more aware and responsabile in planning our next 50 years.
@@Qnexus7 Public spending barely influences the birthrate at all. But healthcare and pensions especially, why would anyone decide to have kids or not because of a potential healthcare bill they could have in 4 decades. If you want to get people to have kids through public spending you should make it targeted and overwhelming, like idk give people a free or cheap house or something if they marry and have 2 kids. But yes pension spending and healthcare costs need to go down. They only exist to keep old people who already didn’t have enough kids alive for 5 more years. And while that may sound harsh, that is simply the reality. Or again, open the floodgates
the main problem with this proposal is that it will cause even greater collapse in the markets in Central and Eastern Europe and Southern Europe. The countries of these regions already have problems with covering demographic losses with the help of migrants, and opening the possibility of moving between labor markets will lead to even greater accumulation of capital in already rich countries. First of all, it will slow down the development of Europe in the long term, but it will also hinder deeper integration of the community in the future. Love from Poland
As a non eu skilled worker in Malta, I am planning to move from Malta to Spain and make use of their nomad visa which is renewable for 5 years and then settle down in Spain. I'd rather and work remotely in Spain than live in the "wealthy" north but I guess people who can't work remotely and benefit from higher wages and therefore have to physically move to the north to seek better wages. It's encouraging to see a lot of companies becoming more open to offering fully remote job, this ensures that skilled workers from less wealthy EU countries can stay in their country, earn high wages, but also provide taxes to their home countries.
I doubt many skilled workers are going to these countries in the first place as they are not attractive for them. So I don't think it will change much for them, the problem is with their own citizens having right of movement within the EU leaving to work elsewhere
@@TheBooban citizenship is still useful for taxation and what not otherwise, there's not much point to making the process of getting or renouncing citizenship more complex than filling and signing a form
Oh? Romanians & Bulgarians aren't allowed to move & work in other EU countries? Austria blocked you from the Schengen, not EU as a whole. Still bad, but not even remotely close to the restrictions non-EU citizens currently have, and what freedoms they would have if this proposal was implemented.
What about promoting the natality instead of importing peaceful men who caused rïóts like i (sweden in april and france,the netherland after the semifinal pass of morroco? Just look at japan, china or south korea? They are automating their workforce instead of bringing peaceful men?
China, Japan, and South Korea is the worst example you could give for improve natality, though. They themselves are discussing about open up for long-term immigrant (since they already have a lot of short term).
You are completely right. I took my PhD in the Netherlands and lived in Germany and Poland. As I was moving from country to country, I do not have the right to apply for a long-term residence card, despite living in Europe for more than 10 years.
This is a bad idea. In order for this to work first the EU needs to become ONE COUNTRY hence a federation and every EU citizen needs to hold a an EU pasaport and EU ID card rather than national one. Second freedom of movement for RESIDENTS and not nationals are a bad idea for example one can get a resident card from a pro-immigration Western EU country and travel to anti-immigration Eastern EU country and this will further divide the EU as it is already divided today with Liberal Western EU and Conservative Eastern EU. Plus mass migration is a bad thing if the migrants don't share the same beliefs and culture as the host for example mass migration from Latin America to Spain and Portugal will not be much of a problem but a mass migration from the Middle East to Germany will be a problem. We need people who are similar to our cultures not cultural aliens. Also having two kids are not that hard I believe instead of migration the EU should focus on more family friendly policies for the natives.
The EU should do it? That's not realistic. An go ahead what should be added to have more family freindly countries, like Sweden for example? Sad but true, it is a matter of fact, that whatever we need to do "to have more kids", we don't know what it is.
well actually EU needs both, family boosts and global talent attraction. the top thing would be being more attracting than US, and that cant happen with categoric stances against migration. we need both, better family conditions and effective integration systems.
I'd love it if migrants had to go trough like 2 years of immigration school, where 1 year is cultural education, and 2nd is a an intro course to the job position they'd like to apply. After which they have to pass tests and only then they can get the full EU benefits, otherwise they have to work the minimum-wage labor jobs and live in designated housing districts.
Sounds like a good proposal. The migrante workers are already working legaly in the EU, might as well let them move freely with in the EU. As an example: Being from a country where there's almost every year talks about the lack of doctors a system the let's them come here when they are needed and then leave again if they want and come back again if they are need again would be VERY benificial, since retaining doctors here for their whole career is clearly not working.
@@TheBooban "Kicking out these foreingers!" doesn't make more room for nationals in the public healt care system, it just decreases the size of public healt care system itself and leaves you with the same problem in a smaller scale.
@@silveryuno Neither solves the problem though. The core issue is that the old people who now need to be taken care of didn't have enough kids to sustain the system. So either it collapses or we create a Europe were every young persion is an Indian expat and every old person is a native European at death's doorstep
this sounds like a great idea! I hope we combine this with measures aimed at decreasing the cost of living though as this would help increase the birth rate and make Europe a continent where future talent wants to live
To truly solve this demographic problem, we need to understand what causes it: it's not culture or religion that is the determining factor of how many children and at what stage of life a person has. Rather, it's consistently shown that industrialization and women's rights & access to education and the labor market make people have children later on - early to late 30s. Couple this with an atomization of society and the fact that people don't *need* children like they used to, but rather see them as an expense and luxury, it's only natural that people stop having children and instead look out for themselves and their own lives first. It's very hard to be successful, financially stable, with a career AND find a willing partner of the same characteristics AND find time to have ONE child with them, let alone the necessary 2.1 average to keep the population growing. Europeans stopped having children because the way our life is designed - procreating simply has no purpose or value, especially when everything revolves around money, finances and status. Immigrants might seem like a solution, since many people come from the third world, where industrialization, personal freedom and tolerance are consistently low and neglected. Even if we completely ignore all the problems and tension that these fundamental differences between natives and foreigners can cause, the fact is simple: either the new arrivals will KEEP their cultural customs, never integrate in society and continue to have 4-5 children+ OR they DO manage to integrate and birth rates drop instantly, sending us back to square one. It's like a person having a hole in his stomach that's bleeding out and the doctor says "Oh! I'll fix the hole if I just put in more blood." Sure, that solution is temporary, but until the hole is patched up, AKA the European Union stops acting similar to a mega-corporation and conducts MASSIVE social and societal reforms to actually counter these civilization-threatening circumstances, then we'll only ever reap the negative effects of third world immigration.
(I agree ans subscribe to everything you said). In/until 1970, the best thing people could do to have a pleasant and not boring free time, was to converse with their children. So they made children to be able to entertain themselves. After 1970, TV came, and you didn't need children for your free time to be boring. Later, more things were added, such as the internet, youtube, facebook, twatter, and other weapons of mass destruction such as these.
Mega-corporation is a good way to describe Western Liberal governments. Everything is in service of creating a bigger labor force, while avoiding the incoming collpase of the welfare system
First generation Indian and Nigerian immigrants have the highest median household incomes of all ethnicities including white, Hispanic and black US citizens. Believe it or not, not all migrants grew up in slums and subjugated women. Many of us have masters degree, are highly skilled, intelligent, open minded, westernized and I'd argue more aware and interested in topics ranging from history, philosophy, science and politics compared to a good chunk of racist boomers or a growing legion of young, far right fascists. I do agree that we live in an atomized society and a society that makes it incredibly difficult and unaffordable for young people to even buy their own homes let alone have children but please stop scapegoating all immigrants as "uneducated barbarians". That's what the Nazis did and it didn't turn out well for anyone.
1)The median household income of family is correlated with an individual's education level because these individuals work in jobs that require a high degree of intelligence and educational qualifications such as : software engineering or medicine. 2)You assumed just because I immigrated here I'm from a "poor and barbaric" country. You'd be surprised by how many Americans and Canadians live and work in the EU but people who say racist things like you have no problem with anyone from these countries because they are white but you still have problems with highly skilled and educated people from these "barbaric" countries as you like to call them even though happen to be culturally western, that is what I am trying to understand. I am also trying to understand why do you hate people who contribute more to the EU in terms of taxes(due to them earning higher wages because they are highly educated, skilled and innovative) , have skills that the EU needs but has a massive shortage of, even though they personally don't identify with their culture and are culturally westernized but just happen to have a different skin tone than you? Is it because of the great replacement theory?

@@ABC-ABC1234 Turks are not classified as black white yellow or anything. We are not a colony or anything therefore we dont want to be in this silly classification
One way to handle the declining numbers of workers is to cause brain drains in the UK, Turkey, and Russia by incentivizing all their workers in key sectors to come over and contribute. I say that as a very unpatriotic Brit who always was and always will be Remain. You’d be surprised how many under 35s with an education and skills would come running. 75%+ of young Brits made the sensible choice in 2016, and every day we are miffed that we pay the price for our grandparents poor decision making. Remain was full of younger, more educated, and more successful people. Brexit was full of the opposite.
From the perspective of retirees, this works. From the perspective of young people who would otherwise finally have their work valued, this does not look good. Competing with people from cultures / systems of exploitation (who don't use or defend their rights as a working class) and with low quality of life expectations is a race to the bottom some high migration EU members are already struggling with; and the response is people trying to balance their lives by having fewer children (you know, the whole reason behind this policy, which it worsens) and other life expectations, with resulting deeper stratification of society (executives love the over-saturation of social-ecomical labour groups that over migration creates, it's quite astonishing left labour movements are not more vocal against imigration since it affects labour to such a degree). Not to mention, lack of repricocity from plenty of the countries that benefit with their citizens coming to a high earning zone, with valuable access training and education. More often than not, most EU citizens don't find the nearly equivalent openness in the countries that have so much of their migrated citizenry enjoying the benefits of the EU. Protectionism of EU markets is not something we should radically de-value, since that's the whole reason EU was created, and has value for its people; has value in ensuring democracies are fit for purpose for their next generations, not just high voting elders & executives.
I like it . As a second generation immigrant that has gained an EU passport (Greek) under the law "Known as the Ragousis law" i would say that I hope that the EU will make this a reality. The moment my passport I have been to Netherlands Sweden and at the moment UK ( before Brexit settled status) . The difference in language and diversity of culture was not as big of a problem .
Well... emigrants that move to the EU, not for asylum, but by choice, who are talents or have something to offer, work and live here, and can adapt and integrate.. yes, I think that's a good thing! For the asylum seekers that can prove their reasons, it is a priority, and should be given trainning (integration/culture, language and professionally) and a fair chance, under Human Rights Law! Yet, I also think that new laws should be made for Europeans, to ease the burden of having a child... First, tackling youth unemployment and low wages amongst young people, which is super high in Europe. Then, better access to larger appartments based on the number of kids for example, support for single parents with kids, or for students/young couples with kids who do not earn enough.. free kindergartens, security, more places in school, and free meals for kids.. such things may well inspire many more European couples to have more children... Also, overpopulation Worldwide is a major concern for most Europeans... so a global population growth control scheme should be applied by the United Nations...
The EU made simple; is it possible you can make a poll and a video of Jean-Claude Junckers 5 scenarios for the #FutureofEurupe from “white paper on the future of Europe” Would be nice to know the channels opinion on the future of Europe🇪🇺
While this is good, the key thing will be to ensure that moving around the EU should not reset the clock for eventually acquiring citizenship. I wonder if this Directive will address this too.
I don’t think this would work because if implemented 90% of the immigrant labour force will move to the richest EU states and thus overwhelm their labour market while the rest of the Union will continue struggling for workforce.
"Or you can just let your population continue to age & lose tons of labour & watch your countries die" (Lmao 😂 that's just a false dilemma you got there, Remember you need us,we don't need you) ...or we actually address the core cause of this, change societal rules devised in the 1960s and 1970s to halt the steady decline in the western population, break the magic circle and fix the birth-rates and not self-destruct under The self-perpetuating nature of unfettered immigration under the cynical guise of "helping" us which would result in the same thing but even worse. Although no wonder you say that since you are spiteful thirdworldist yourself so that explains it.
Broh? Are u serious? Please shut up. But it is true it is not in anyone's interest, we should focus on our own populations and find ways to increase wages/decrease stress, etc.. Just increase fertility rates and support families in general.
In the short to medium term, that may be a key to keeping the EU competitive, the free movement of people is a valuable asset. However, it does not solve the problem of aging societies in European countries. This would require a correct family policy that rewards families for their achievements and not punish them, a balanced social policy that does not overload people with unnecessary bureaucracy and TRUSTS them. And a contemporary educational policy that prepares young people for the world of today and tomorrow. These are all fields that have been sacrificed to the market in the last 25 years. In this respect, the "whining" of today's employers is a kind of hypocrisy.
Wait, if a 3rd country national receives a trade licence (for an individual entrepreneurial activity; those can also be artists, scientists, lawyers, etc.) in one EU member states, he or she can enjoy the right of freedom of economic activity within all of the EU, right? A 3rd country national can just apply for that type of residence. So what's the point of making any residence permit an entitlement to work in any EU member state? In this case seasonal and other workers will just use EU member states with smaller economies (Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Latvia, etc.) to get a cheaper access to the Western European markets. The situation in those countries, used as a proxy, is not likely to change much. I think a relief in requirements for inter-EU working visas might be a better solution for the problems mentioned in the video.

Third country immigration replaces and impedes native population growth. By increasing competition on salaries, welfare and housing, immigration pushes back natives, along with themselves, in a state of discomfort incompatible with family lifestyle. Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Overpopulation leads to declining birthrate thus justifying more immigration. In any case third-party immigration has always been a hard line for most european countries so this proposal will never go through as a directive. France and Germany might agree among themselves but that will roughly be "it", until right-wing populism throws everything down in early 2030s as this channel itself has predicted.
If mass immigration continues at rapid pace then GDP Per Capita growth will remain anaemic. Effectively people can expect to continue experiencing more shrinkflation while productivity is simply gonna take a dive in the long term. The idea that you need a constant rapidly growing population to achieve growth is bourgeoisie propaganda to maintain a reserve army of labour.
It's a great proposal and would be a step in the right direction imo. Though I wouldn't justify it by the number of soon to be pensioners - better also step on the automation integration an new technologies. Otherwise we'd be stuck in this pyramid scheme of always needing more people. Plus it's selfish to lure the best people out of struggling countries and thus only contributing to third country struggles

It's hard to deny that a more prosperous and democratic Africa or any other 3rd world country means a better life for EU citizens. By having more stable and cooperative trade partners, and lowering the number of asylum seekers going straight for Europe. Also it falls under EU global aims, stated in their own website: >Uphold and promote its values and interests >Contribute to peace and security and the sustainable development of the Earth >Contribute to solidarity and mutual respect among peoples, free and fair trade, eradication of poverty and the protection of human rights Short term it might seem like a needless expense, but long term there's the potential for large gains. Just like any other socialist system, such as healthcare and strict labor laws.

The main problem with the EU labor system is the language barrier. No worker can truly move freely when every move represents a different language and culture. This is especially true for eastern Europe.
I think you have a very good point. have a video coming out about this problem in January. :)
Eastern Europe is not in the EU though. I know Ukraine and Georgia want to join, but that will be a long process. And Russia is not yet broken to smaller countries, so Don-Kuban republic, Russia and Karelia aren't countries. Yet. And Belarus is still a dictatorship.
You. Propagandists. Should. Be. Unlifed. Immediately.
it's not ideal but in most countries there is a possibility of work in English.
on top of language and culture barrier, non eu citizen cannot just like eu citizen moves to another eu country , they have to go through whole new process, by applying all kind of documents and apply a new residence in the new eu country , which they wont have the benefits of long term eu residency from its own host eu country .

I'd love a united Europe, keep the videos coming! Start showing polls and visual demographics!
I don't have anything against this idea, but I believe it is not the solution to EU's problems.
Migrants are going to move in EU, but they are going to face the same problems Europeans already have and they will not have more children than EU residents have, because they are going to face the same problems that the current residents have. Using immigration to "solve" this problem will only completely change the EU in the long run. Better or worse, time will tell.
Immigrants are needed and welcome as long as they adapt to EU's culture and standards and work instead of living on our social welfare only, but they are only a short-term solution. Long-term, politicians/scientists/etc. should better concentrate at identifying the causes of people having less children and working on them, like more child care available to everybody until 18:00 and to shift workers, better paid child care workers, better schooling and better paid teachers, more women rights etc.. The list goes on...
That will not happen, they'll keep kicking the can down the road to make sure there are enough workers all while undermining European identity more and more. This looks more like a ''European'' mega corporation than an organisation trying to unite Europe at this point. European between '''' because demographically it will hardly be European if this path is followed
The evidence shows, over and over, immigrants have more children than the native born population and they have a higher labour productivity. It also helps to grow our international business networks in the long term. All three being vital for keeping up the living standards of the EU. It's not a magic solution but it is a very important part of it if the EU wishes to remain relevant in a very globalised & competitive world where we have the USA, China & soon India rising up.

We just need to have more kids
uh-huh, let's keep the pyramid scheme that the current pension system is instead of reforming it...
@@ChangesOfTomorrow When you ask people why people used to have more kids, they will give you a simple awnser, because they needed to have someone to take care of them as they got older. Now we are getting older than average and have fewer kids than ever. People think that we don't need kids to take care of anymore, but we still do, a false disconnect has just been created.
Now they are just trying to plug the hole with immigrants (and because corporations want more consumers and labour) at the expense of social cohesion. But even though the stream of immigrants is endless, the problem keeps existing because they also have fewer kids. So either the pension system (and drive for more consuming) is reformed, or we will hollow out or nations until all there is left are old natives and young immigrants whiping their ass
@@sebe2255 no, people had more children in the past because they were an asset, a quick addition to the workforce of the household. Now children are an expense and a significant one at that.
Children are a poor retirement plan. Do not expect them to take care of you or they’ll feel it and resent you. Plenty of lonely old people with children who want nothing to do with them
@@ChangesOfTomorrow They still are an asset, just not immediately on a personal level, which is the disconnect I described

This is a bad thing. Migrants that move to a country will be less likely to stay in such country to move to a richer one. This makes poorer states worse off,
Still needed
I'm not sure whether making Europe more dependent on draining workers from the rest of the world is a good idea. Europe just needs to have more children.
And when it comes to competing with the Anglosphere, the main problem is that Anglo-Saxon culture is much more vibrant than that of continental Europe. The UK was not a member of Schengen, and still most people moved right there for job opportunities.
@Thomas G Clark 😮
Birth rates will probably start to rise again but not any time soon. In the meantime, most European countries have a declining population and migrants are needed everywhere! At least to try and keep populations stable if not growing.
@@samraosmanovska4077 No they won't! World's best natural contraceptive are rising food prices and the best one of all: RISING HOUSING PRICES!
Never in history has there been a better contraceptive than these 2 phenomena! As a society gets wealthier and also cost of living gets more expensive, people rethink the whole concept of having a "happy big family". It's now more of a burden to have kids, than a blessing, which goes against the natural cycle of life. (We're here on this planet with a purpose) Populations can only be kept stable if families have AT LEAST 2 kids; (obviously 2 to replace both parents, 3 to 4 would be preferable but that needs a whole revamping of tax plans in order to stimulate people having more kids and still managing to maintain same lifestyle as people who only have 2)
On the one side it's a good direction, on the other not every country is ready to replace its own identity with a multinational one, like Germany did.
What options do they have with such a low fertility rate?

Why doesn't EU work on improving demographics of Europeans rather than on relying in immigrants. I predict if things keeo going like this there will be many problems in future and possibly wars. Your own people should always be priority.
Because its easy. It solves so many easy problems for politicians to win elections. More immigrants means cheaper labor, more votes, more GDP, more money printing, more ponzi scheme to exploit them to make the rich richer.
A lot of people just don't want large or any families, when there's so much opportunity and/or stress in life. You can't force people to have families either, and we're already doing a lot to lessen the stress of life (social medicine and education, good labor laws, ect.)
Immigration is kind of the only effective way to maintain a large work-force, in a highly industrialized and free society. But sure, there are bad and good ways to handle immigration.
@@TheBooban True. That is why I don't understand why people keep choosing these corrupt politicians who don't care about their people. I know trend is changing like in Italy and Sweden and I hope it continues like that but as long as people like Ursula who aren't chosen by people keep staying in power we will suffer more and more.
@@TotallMax13 When people say it is hard to have children I just feel like shooting myslef. People in past lived on few pieces of bread if they even had that and we in 21st century, during the most advanced and bountiful stage of humanity can't have children is astonishing. I am not saying you are saying that but in general. And what stress. Is it more stressful to fear if you will die tomorrow because you don't have anything to eat or that someone insulted you today and you are depressed now. Stress was always part of humanity but humans just knew how to deal with it because they must. People are weak today and that is the problem. And cause of that are bad politicians and examples in society.
And immigration isn't needed actually. Best example is Japan but of course that isn't possible for every country. But demographics is the most important thing for every country. You don't have to force anyone to have children but just show them that it is the right thing.
@@snokehusk223 I don't think we should just 'have' children willy nilly, like they did in the old days, when children were more of a necessity.
Actually a lot goes into raising children properly and being a good parent. Mental stability, emotional availability, secure finances, good support networks of relatives & friends, ect. People before didn't care much about that, because they didn't have the information readily available and having children was just a thing you did.
If a person doesn't feel like he has the maturity and stability, or even the willingness to raise a child, then they shouldn't. We need more children that are loved and wanted, not children from broken homes, where they can barely scrape by.
Sure, it's a double-edged sword, but I'd give priority to having more good people within a smaller population, than just having a large mono-ethnic population.
is suicidal , without a european constitution that preserves the natives population of europe as a majority on the different states is not good
EU needs more family oriented policy and more effective integration systems. Attracting talent from outside and making it easier to move and work is great but far from enough.
It wouldn't solve the demographic problem at all and just decrease the already lowering social cohesion
@@sebe2255 what wouldn't? And what would in your opinion?
@@Qnexus7 Ultimately it is very hard to solve without taking incredibly unpopular measures, like drastically cutting into healthcare and pension funds. It is no wonder that most politicians go for an easy but temporary solution. But yeah you’d have to drastically reduce the spending in healthcare, and make it less of an unsustainable pyramid scheme, which will affect the care for a lot of people. But ultimately that is the issue, those people that need care now didn’t have enough kids to take care of them. That fundamental human condition, which was taken for granted 100 years ago is still there.
Alternatively you can say, fuck it, open the flood gates, and hope that you can automate enough jobs by the time the welfare state is about to collapse again. Which will happen as immigrants get less kids themselves. But this would completely erase European nations and identities, and I do not support this.
There is no easy solution that helps and pleases everyone. Which is what a lot of people pretend there is
@@sebe2255 really? Cutting public healthcare will get people to make more kids?
You are looking for the solution in the past, but its more of a phese of societal growth. Some are behind thus still make lots of kids like in the old days.
Then there is mentality, ideology and such.
The problem our western, european in particular society has on this reguard is the high cost to sustain and grow a human. Thus there are myriads of possible policies and economic solutions to address it.
Then there is the cultural-ideological phase and here its more complicated. How do you convince yourself and the people in your environment to have more kids especially when they cost so much?
We also live in a period of hyper individualization and many traditional values are put into question but maybe we can reevaluate and reconceptualise them to find their place in our world. Many things will change like family structures shifting more from atomic to enlarged family models. We can also make changes towards betterment of our environments specifically cities, more walkable, cittizen friendly, social activities and so on, in EU thats one of our main aces.
And most of all an economic shift towards progress of quality of life not only for individuals but for families too.
Ps. We must take into account that after wwii many western intellectuals groups were mainly preoccupied with overpopulation thus in some ways their influence has impacted to some degree future policies, development, economic trends and so on.
Maybe now its the right time we can start being more aware and responsabile in planning our next 50 years.
@@Qnexus7 Public spending barely influences the birthrate at all. But healthcare and pensions especially, why would anyone decide to have kids or not because of a potential healthcare bill they could have in 4 decades. If you want to get people to have kids through public spending you should make it targeted and overwhelming, like idk give people a free or cheap house or something if they marry and have 2 kids. But yes pension spending and healthcare costs need to go down. They only exist to keep old people who already didn’t have enough kids alive for 5 more years. And while that may sound harsh, that is simply the reality.
Or again, open the floodgates
the main problem with this proposal is that it will cause even greater collapse in the markets in Central and Eastern Europe and Southern Europe. The countries of these regions already have problems with covering demographic losses with the help of migrants, and opening the possibility of moving between labor markets will lead to even greater accumulation of capital in already rich countries. First of all, it will slow down the development of Europe in the long term, but it will also hinder deeper integration of the community in the future. Love from Poland
As a non eu skilled worker in Malta, I am planning to move from Malta to Spain and make use of their nomad visa which is renewable for 5 years and then settle down in Spain.
I'd rather and work remotely in Spain than live in the "wealthy" north but I guess people who can't work remotely and benefit from higher wages and therefore have to physically move to the north to seek better wages.
It's encouraging to see a lot of companies becoming more open to offering fully remote job, this ensures that skilled workers from less wealthy EU countries can stay in their country, earn high wages, but also provide taxes to their home countries.
I doubt many skilled workers are going to these countries in the first place as they are not attractive for them. So I don't think it will change much for them, the problem is with their own citizens having right of movement within the EU leaving to work elsewhere

More vids on demographic problems and eastern Europe's problems please. Very much interested in the subject and very interesting vids aswell.
You are completely right. I took my PhD in the Netherlands and lived in Germany and Poland. As I was moving from country to country, I do not have the right to apply for a long-term residence card, despite living in Europe for more than 10 years.
This is a bad idea. In order for this to work first the EU needs to become ONE COUNTRY hence a federation and every EU citizen needs to hold a an EU pasaport and EU ID card rather than national one. Second freedom of movement for RESIDENTS and not nationals are a bad idea for example one can get a resident card from a pro-immigration Western EU country and travel to anti-immigration Eastern EU country and this will further divide the EU as it is already divided today with Liberal Western EU and Conservative Eastern EU. Plus mass migration is a bad thing if the migrants don't share the same beliefs and culture as the host for example mass migration from Latin America to Spain and Portugal will not be much of a problem but a mass migration from the Middle East to Germany will be a problem. We need people who are similar to our cultures not cultural aliens. Also having two kids are not that hard I believe instead of migration the EU should focus on more family friendly policies for the natives.
Exactly
Yes
The EU should do it? That's not realistic. An go ahead what should be added to have more family freindly countries, like Sweden for example? Sad but true, it is a matter of fact, that whatever we need to do "to have more kids", we don't know what it is.
well actually EU needs both, family boosts and global talent attraction. the top thing would be being more attracting than US, and that cant happen with categoric stances against migration. we need both, better family conditions and effective integration systems.
I'd love it if migrants had to go trough like 2 years of immigration school, where 1 year is cultural education, and 2nd is a an intro course to the job position they'd like to apply. After which they have to pass tests and only then they can get the full EU benefits, otherwise they have to work the minimum-wage labor jobs and live in designated housing districts.
Yes
Meanwhile Bulgaria and Romania wich are EU members have been rejected Schengen membership but we discuss about migrant rights.
What do I think of the proposal? It's a nobrainer.
0:45 This is called social dumping and colonization, stop your madness !
Sounds like a good proposal.
The migrante workers are already working legaly in the EU, might as well let them move freely with in the EU.
As an example: Being from a country where there's almost every year talks about the lack of doctors a system the let's them come here when they are needed and then leave again if they want and come back again if they are need again would be VERY benificial, since retaining doctors here for their whole career is clearly not working.
You wouldn’t need so many doctors if you didn’t import so many immigrants who need care. Go to any public service. Full of foreigners.
@@TheBooban "Kicking out these foreingers!" doesn't make more room for nationals in the public healt care system, it just decreases the size of public healt care system itself and leaves you with the same problem in a smaller scale.
Also it is important that the doctors speak the language (especially for the elderly) so sending them from one country to another just isnt realistic
@@silveryuno Neither solves the problem though. The core issue is that the old people who now need to be taken care of didn't have enough kids to sustain the system. So either it collapses or we create a Europe were every young persion is an Indian expat and every old person is a native European at death's doorstep
this sounds like a great idea! I hope we combine this with measures aimed at decreasing the cost of living though as this would help increase the birth rate and make Europe a continent where future talent wants to live
To truly solve this demographic problem, we need to understand what causes it: it's not culture or religion that is the determining factor of how many children and at what stage of life a person has. Rather, it's consistently shown that industrialization and women's rights & access to education and the labor market make people have children later on - early to late 30s. Couple this with an atomization of society and the fact that people don't *need* children like they used to, but rather see them as an expense and luxury, it's only natural that people stop having children and instead look out for themselves and their own lives first. It's very hard to be successful, financially stable, with a career AND find a willing partner of the same characteristics AND find time to have ONE child with them, let alone the necessary 2.1 average to keep the population growing.
Europeans stopped having children because the way our life is designed - procreating simply has no purpose or value, especially when everything revolves around money, finances and status.
Immigrants might seem like a solution, since many people come from the third world, where industrialization, personal freedom and tolerance are consistently low and neglected. Even if we completely ignore all the problems and tension that these fundamental differences between natives and foreigners can cause, the fact is simple: either the new arrivals will KEEP their cultural customs, never integrate in society and continue to have 4-5 children+ OR they DO manage to integrate and birth rates drop instantly, sending us back to square one.
It's like a person having a hole in his stomach that's bleeding out and the doctor says "Oh! I'll fix the hole if I just put in more blood."
Sure, that solution is temporary, but until the hole is patched up, AKA the European Union stops acting similar to a mega-corporation and conducts MASSIVE social and societal reforms to actually counter these civilization-threatening circumstances, then we'll only ever reap the negative effects of third world immigration.
(I agree ans subscribe to everything you said). In/until 1970, the best thing people could do to have a pleasant and not boring free time, was to converse with their children. So they made children to be able to entertain themselves. After 1970, TV came, and you didn't need children for your free time to be boring. Later, more things were added, such as the internet, youtube, facebook, twatter, and other weapons of mass destruction such as these.
Mega-corporation is a good way to describe Western Liberal governments. Everything is in service of creating a bigger labor force, while avoiding the incoming collpase of the welfare system
First generation Indian and Nigerian immigrants have the highest median household incomes of all ethnicities including white, Hispanic and black US citizens.
Believe it or not, not all migrants grew up in slums and subjugated women.
Many of us have masters degree, are highly skilled, intelligent, open minded, westernized and I'd argue more aware and interested in topics ranging from history, philosophy, science and politics compared to a good chunk of racist boomers or a growing legion of young, far right fascists.
I do agree that we live in an atomized society and a society that makes it incredibly difficult and unaffordable for young people to even buy their own homes let alone have children but please stop scapegoating all immigrants as "uneducated barbarians".
That's what the Nazis did and it didn't turn out well for anyone.
1)The median household income of family is correlated with an individual's education level because these individuals work in jobs that require a high degree of intelligence and educational qualifications such as :
software engineering or medicine.
2)You assumed just because I immigrated here I'm from a "poor and barbaric" country.
You'd be surprised by how many Americans and Canadians live and work in the EU but people who say racist things like you have no problem with anyone from these countries because they are white but you still have problems with highly skilled and educated people from these "barbaric" countries as you like to call them even though happen to be culturally western, that is what I am trying to understand.
I am also trying to understand why do you hate people who contribute more to the EU in terms of taxes(due to them earning higher wages because they are highly educated, skilled and innovative) , have skills that the EU needs but has a massive shortage of, even though they personally don't identify with their culture and are culturally westernized but just happen to have a different skin tone than you?
Is it because of the great replacement theory?

One way to handle the declining numbers of workers is to cause brain drains in the UK, Turkey, and Russia by incentivizing all their workers in key sectors to come over and contribute. I say that as a very unpatriotic Brit who always was and always will be Remain. You’d be surprised how many under 35s with an education and skills would come running. 75%+ of young Brits made the sensible choice in 2016, and every day we are miffed that we pay the price for our grandparents poor decision making.

If you're young, well educated and ambitious, what's stopping you from crossing the strait?
Volt represents.
From the perspective of retirees, this works.
From the perspective of young people who would otherwise finally have their work valued, this does not look good. Competing with people from cultures / systems of exploitation (who don't use or defend their rights as a working class) and with low quality of life expectations is a race to the bottom some high migration EU members are already struggling with; and the response is people trying to balance their lives by having fewer children (you know, the whole reason behind this policy, which it worsens) and other life expectations, with resulting deeper stratification of society (executives love the over-saturation of social-ecomical labour groups that over migration creates, it's quite astonishing left labour movements are not more vocal against imigration since it affects labour to such a degree).
Not to mention, lack of repricocity from plenty of the countries that benefit with their citizens coming to a high earning zone, with valuable access training and education. More often than not, most EU citizens don't find the nearly equivalent openness in the countries that have so much of their migrated citizenry enjoying the benefits of the EU.
Protectionism of EU markets is not something we should radically de-value, since that's the whole reason EU was created, and has value for its people; has value in ensuring democracies are fit for purpose for their next generations, not just high voting elders & executives.
I think that this is a great idea. That way, migration will be handled more collectively and efficiently since everyone in doing the same thing.
I like it .
As a second generation immigrant that has gained an EU passport (Greek) under the law "Known as the Ragousis law" i would say that I hope that the EU will make this a reality.

Well... emigrants that move to the EU, not for asylum, but by choice, who are talents or have something to offer, work and live here, and can adapt and integrate.. yes, I think that's a good thing!
For the asylum seekers that can prove their reasons, it is a priority, and should be given trainning (integration/culture, language and professionally) and a fair chance, under Human Rights Law!
Yet, I also think that new laws should be made for Europeans, to ease the burden of having a child... First, tackling youth unemployment and low wages amongst young people, which is super high in Europe.
Then, better access to larger appartments based on the number of kids for example, support for single parents with kids, or for students/young couples with kids who do not earn enough.. free kindergartens, security, more places in school, and free meals for kids.. such things may well inspire many more European couples to have more children...
Also, overpopulation Worldwide is a major concern for most Europeans... so a global population growth control scheme should be applied by the United Nations...

The magic word is "worker" not refugee.....
Should have thought about this years ago.
In the short to medium term, that may be a key to keeping the EU competitive, the free movement of people is a valuable asset. However, it does not solve the problem of aging societies in European countries. This would require a correct family policy that rewards families for their achievements and not punish them, a balanced social policy that does not overload people with unnecessary bureaucracy and TRUSTS them. And a contemporary educational policy that prepares young people for the world of today and tomorrow. These are all fields that have been sacrificed to the market in the last 25 years. In this respect, the "whining" of today's employers is a kind of hypocrisy.

Wait, if a 3rd country national receives a trade licence (for an individual entrepreneurial activity; those can also be artists, scientists, lawyers, etc.) in one EU member states, he or she can enjoy the right of freedom of economic activity within all of the EU, right? A 3rd country national can just apply for that type of residence.
So what's the point of making any residence permit an entitlement to work in any EU member state? In this case seasonal and other workers will just use EU member states with smaller economies (Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Latvia, etc.) to get a cheaper access to the Western European markets. The situation in those countries, used as a proxy, is not likely to change much.

It will not happen... It requires EU to agree on one of the most divided subject possible in EU... Even if somehow it got implemented the exceptions and additions needed to this law would effectively render it useless.
Third country immigration replaces and impedes native population growth.
By increasing competition on salaries, welfare and housing, immigration pushes back natives, along with themselves, in a state of discomfort incompatible with family lifestyle.
Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Overpopulation leads to declining birthrate thus justifying more immigration.
In any case third-party immigration has always been a hard line for most european countries so this proposal will never go through as a directive. France and Germany might agree among themselves but that will roughly be "it", until right-wing populism throws everything down in early 2030s as this channel itself has predicted.
Great video!
If mass immigration continues at rapid pace then GDP Per Capita growth will remain anaemic. Effectively people can expect to continue experiencing more shrinkflation while productivity is simply gonna take a dive in the long term. The idea that you need a constant rapidly growing population to achieve growth is bourgeoisie propaganda to maintain a reserve army of labour.
It's a great proposal and would be a step in the right direction imo. Though I wouldn't justify it by the number of soon to be pensioners - better also step on the automation integration an new technologies. Otherwise we'd be stuck in this pyramid scheme of always needing more people. Plus it's selfish to lure the best people out of struggling countries and thus only contributing to third country struggles
It'd be great if we supported the talented immigrants with policies that motivate them to return and support their own countries, after working in and learning from EU industries, by giving connections and investments.

@@sebe2255 We're already investing a lot into Africa's infrastructure and education, because we see a bright future there and want them as global partners.
Sending EU educated people there is a far more effective way in reaching those goals. Both in strengthening Africa and our connections.
@@TotallMax13 This is meaningless policy speak. Those investments are done because the expected returns are greater. Educating people here at our expense only to send them back in the hope that they may offer beneficial connections is ridiculous. You should invest billions in a “maybe.”
Generally countries don’t want the people the educated to start benefiting others for free
@@sebe2255 I wouldn't say it's necessarily a meaningless position, but sure, perhaps a bit ideological and 'dreamy'. But there's no change without a dream first.
It's hard to deny that a more prosperous and democratic Africa or any other 3rd world country means a better life for EU citizens. By having more stable and cooperative trade partners, and lowering the number of asylum seekers going straight for Europe.
Also it falls under EU global aims, stated in their own website:
>Uphold and promote its values and interests
>Contribute to peace and security and the sustainable development of the Earth
>Contribute to solidarity and mutual respect among peoples, free and fair trade, eradication of poverty and the protection of human rights
Short term it might seem like a needless expense, but long term there's the potential for large gains. Just like any other socialist system, such as healthcare and strict labor laws.
At a moment this EU long term residency is just useless because anyway Eu card holder still has to wait atleast 2 minths to receive local id without which they cant work in anither eu country(except sweden) and the recruiter doesnot want to wait till the lhe permit is ready
I like the idea
"Promosm"
BS.
In 2052, however, Ukraine will have been part of the EU for some time. Most likely, other countries will also be part of the EU and, if all turns out well, Hungary will not have been part of the EU for some time.
