    The obvious solution to me is either completely opening the borders of the EU or greatly expanding immigration. The refugee crisis could be solved quite easily by accepting refugees and integrating them into the workforce. Please note that I’m not advocating for them to assimilate. Again, this would be easier to do in a socialist economy.

      Immigration of course is a force that allows the states of Europe to shape their workforces however they wish.

      However, the broader issue, within the context, is why it is claimed that the share of the population working versus not, or needing care versus not, are conditions generating an unbearable strain against total societal capacity.

      The reason, of course, is simply the austerity narrative. Elites wish to hoard instead of to share, and so they misdirect toward some other issue as the reason everyone else must be deprived.
