National government policy aims to curb immigration by restricting entry to those who can contribute, with a long-term strategy that anticipates a decrease in new arrivals and a subsequent reduction in population, perhaps leading to a higher death rate than birth rate, thereby enhancing the retirement system.
This approach, articulated by Professor Romero, suggests that as fewer individuals enter the country, the population will naturally decline over time, with death becoming the primary factor in reducing the number of people reliant on the retirement system. The sentiment highlights a stark perspective on population management and its impact on economic structures.
The commentary underscores the ethical implications of viewing mortality as a solution for systemic financial challenges, emphasizing that even during economic hardship, advocating for policies that implicitly or explicitly consider death as a means of “improvement” is morally indefensible.
