    So what I hear you’re saying is that education is the solution.

    We could educate immigrants, which will take some time. We could also educate the Europeans so they don’t take the jobs that requires shorter educations. Either way we will need the immigrants to solve the current demand.

    The problem is that the same thing was tried in the 1970s and it didn’t turn out well when the demand for low skill workers decreased again. We already know that the demand will drop again in 20-30 years, so we should already now focus on educating the immigrants, so they can function in society after the low skill jobs are gone.

    Another thing is that it’s not like we can stop immigration. The climate changes will result in massive immigration whether we “allow” it or not. They’re not going to sit and die outside imaginary lines on the ground.

    IMO, the only realistic option is to accept and start educating immigrants.
