If you haven't read my essays on a long-term basis....I generally note that the birth-rate has crapped-out....going back probably to even the 1960s. This problem....affects major industries in Germany.
There's a great piece on N-TV today, where the head of the German Federal Employment Agency, Detlef Scheele, says that the nation needs about 400,000 immigrants per year.
But he says this one little twist....this needs to be a 'targeted' situation for particular industries and the labor landscape.
In the interview, he kinda admits there is a push-back campaign from Germans on foreigners.....but there's no way to make up for the birth-rate issue, unless you bring in more immigrants.
