According to a Swiss study entitled “Germany Report 2035”, if the demographically challenged German nation does not modernize it’s act real pronto – raising the retirement age, letting in more immigrants, putting more women to work and increasing the number of hours worked each week – the country’s average annual growth rate will only reach an anemic 1 percent over the coming 25 years.
So hey, the change that’s about to happen here is going to start spinning everybody’s heads, right? Right.
Besides, this is a Swiss report.
Die Zahl der Arbeitsfähigen sinkt um mehr als acht Millionen.

All of these suggestions would be resisted by the vast majority of the Germans I know. Some are a non-starter from the beginning. More immigrants when second generation immigrants already have the lowest social mobility amongst all other Western nations? When 10,000 more Turks are leaving each year than coming in? I moved here and started my own business which was going well until the bureaucrats caught wind of it. They refused to issue all of the permits I needed and dragged the whole process out over a couple of years, before finally making a suggestion. I was told that I could stay in Germany if I found a more suitable job: working as a cashier at Lidl or Aldi. Since I worked as a cashier in a supermarket 15 years ago when I was in high school, I can’t really say that ringing up Otto Average’s case of Holsten really appeals to me very much.
