I believe Europe is gradually waking up to the fact that successful migration is key to future prosperity... All findings indicate that it is crystal clear that Europe is quickly ageing, which in turn puts immense pressure on our welfare systems. Unaddressed, we will be in dire difficulties in only ten or twenty years... In twenty years' time, many EU countries are already likely to have to choose between raising retirement ages or accepting migrants to simply fill all the current jobs on the market – or a mix of the two... What we need to do ... is to ensure that we value migrants as an opportunity but also demand from them to work for these opportunities. It is neither a threat nor an act of charity.
