Seeing how vocal the Pope is about allowing the refugees is, I presume he is doing likewise? But I don't think he is.
Any thoughts?

Regardless, the countries that accept the refugees, make them feel welcome and harness their energy and enthusiasm will reap the benefits. The countries that shun immigration will stutter and struggle as their population continues to age, and their economies bankrupt in the face of lack of working age productivity.

If the Vatican City is taking in two families as reported (so let's say 10 people), then that is equivalent to more than 1% of their existing population (packed within a small area). Very similar in ratio to Germany taking in 800,000 against their population of 8 million, an exact 1% equivalent.

What a load of crap, especially given the advancement in automation and future predictable trends.

Apologies, my typo. 800,000/80 Million is 1%, hence the original assertion I was making was correct

Most people's accumulated wealth comes from a combination of property and pensions, the later of which are invested to own a proportion of those corporate assets. The trickle down comes in the form of annuities and pension fund growth.

Likewise, the greying demographic and loss of productivity will subsequently lead to devaluation of property's value. Something similar may also happen with stock holdings (which make up pension funds)

The lack of widespread pension planning and declining home ownership are some of the reasons that the demographic timebomb is potentially so harmful.

If property values drops, ownership will likely increase.

Arguably there's been a bigger push for widespread pension planning in the past 2 years than there has been in the past half a century.

Yes, but it isn't necessarily translating into people taking ownership of their pension responsibilities
