Economic effects•Supply: less flexibility•Demand: Slower growth + increased expenditure•Welfare state: increased dependency
Problems of Population
ageing

Stagnated Demand
Older labour force
Increased dependency
Population ageing

The opening of borders to an integrated immigration has the following benefits:
1. Increased birth rates
2. Pensions are guaranteed
3. Positions not-wanted by Spanish workers may be occupied
4. Increase in consumption and trade and, therefore, general economic growth
