"Immigration: forecasts and impact for the coming years in Catalonia"
Immigration has become one of the greatest challenges of our time, and this will intensify in the coming years in response to the demographic changes that will take place. These changes will lead to an aging population with all its consequences, such as retirement, lack of human capital, etc.
The aim of the session is to present the conclusions of a report on demographic transition, immigration, and aging in Catalonia 2024-2050, its effects on the labor market, social cohesion, pensions, and dependency, and to analyze the impact this will have on society and the economy. The study was commissioned by the Advisory Council for Sustainable Development in Catalonia (CADS).
