IMMIGRATION NO SOLUTION FOR AN AGING SOCIETY
Study Finds Little Impact on Social Security, Proportion of Workers
WASHINGTON (April 2005) — A new report from the Center for Immigration Studies debunks popular claims that mass immigration can “save” Social Security.
It’s become common in public discussion to point to immigration as a way to reverse the aging trends in American society and infuse the Social Security system with new revenue. However, an analysis of the actual data shows that even very high immigration simply cannot have a large effect on the nation’s age structure. This is true for two reasons: first, immigrants are people too, and so they age like everyone else; and second, the age and fertility differences with natives, though real, simply aren’t large enough to significantly change the nation’s age structure, either now or in the future.
Advance copies of the study, entitled “Immigration in an Aging Society: Workers, Birth Rates, and Social Security,” are available to the media. On the release date, the study will be available on line at http://www.cis.org/articles/2005/back505.html.
The Center will release the report at a panel discussion on Tuesday, April 26, at 9:30 a.m. at the National Press Club’s Lisagor Room, 14th & F streets, N.W., Washington, D.C. The report’s author, Steven Camarota, the Center’s Director of Research, will be joined by B. Lindsay Lowell of Georgetown University’s Institute for the Study of International Migration and Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Enterprise Institute to discuss the report’s findings. The briefing is free and open to the public.
