| Annotation | In its 2005 report 'Migration in an interconnected world: new directions for action', the United Nations (UN) Global Commission on International Migration regards the "demographic disparities" as one of the main factors behind the likely increase in global migratory pressures. These "demographic disparities" raise a very important policy question for ageing societies: do current demographic trends - the combination of below-replacement fertility with increasing life expectancy - provide them with a good reason for relaxing controls on migration? What differences should population ageing make to the policies that high income countries adopt for controlling and managing what the UN Global Commission sees as largely inevitable increase in immigration pressures from low income countries? (RH). |
