  • The EU is determined to stay attractive for Non-EU talent, and is currently debating a new Long Term Residence Directive in Parliament. This will allow Non-EU talent to live and work accross borders within the EU. This is especially important, as by 2040 it is estimated that 155 million people are expected to be over 65. This new legislation targets qualified migrants to live within our block and contribute to our society and economy.

      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.

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.

    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 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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

      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.

    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.

    Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Overpopulation leads to declining birthrate thus justifying more immigration.

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.
