    Hi @Fishinnick

    https://www.wsj.com/world/birthrates-global-decline-cause-ddaf8be2?mod=hp_lead_pos7

    An interesting article … an excerpt below …

    [[[[[ The world is at a startling demographic milestone. Sometime soon, the global fertility rate will drop below the point needed to keep population constant. It may have already happened.

    Fertility is falling almost everywhere, for women across all levels of income, education and labor-force participation. The falling birthrates come with huge implications for the way people live, how economies grow and the standings of the world’s superpowers. ]]]]]

    Thats a global phenomenon, not just peculiar to mature Western economies.

    So mulling that, potentially countries that seek targeted immigration, making it an attractive proposition, will prosper for the balance of this century?

    Red neck Americans wanting to cut off immigration have just no idea where insular, xenophobic policy will lead them?

    Imo, Australia is well placed and able to be a preferred emigration destination.

    A different view.
