Sociology
Post-Demographic Transition and Immigrant Integration in Low-Fertility Societies
Quick fact
In many low-fertility societies, such as Japan and Italy, immigrants now contribute more to population growth than natural increase, and this flips the traditional integration narrative: instead of immigrants needing to integrate for the sake of labor, the society needs immigrants for its demographic survival.
Why this is interesting
Imagine a country where the population would shrink by half within a few decades if not for newcomers. How does that change the way a society welcomes immigrants?
