Janerik Larsson writes that the question of the long-term costs of immigration hardly gets any space at all in the debate or in the media.
This despite the fact that there have been several hair-raising alarms. For example, this is what was stated in a report last year from the Entrepreneur & Shy & Forum;”Some costs can be assumed to increase significantly over time. The Swedish Pensions Agency forecasts, for example, that pension costs for basic protection for foreign-born will rise from the current 4.1 billion (Pensionsmyndigheten, 2017) to eleven billion in 2030 to 2060 billion in 2060. According to the forecast The costs alone for basic protection will correspond to 1.2 per cent of GDP, in addition to which difficult-to-quantify costs in the form of reduced trust, crime and social problems in the wake of lack of economic integration and low self-sufficiency levels. state that if there is a desire to reduce them, it is necessary to increase the degree of self-sufficiency. “
In a several-year-old press release from the Swedish Pensions Agency, Ole Settergren, the agency's head of analysis, said that 000 who received asylum in Sweden in 2015 (not the 160,000 who applied) will mean increased costs during the period 2017–2100, which is estimated to be SEK 150 billion “, writes Janerik Larsson.
” One question one should be able to ask is how is it that this perspective is blown away from Swedish political debate? ” he asks himself.
“Perhaps it is the case that there is a strong Swedish opinion that future generations should bear these significant costs; or is it that this is too worrying a perspective to do other than close your eyes? ” continues Janerik Larsson.
