The Netherlands faces a major challenge: an aging population and a shrinking labor market. But according to a recent report by the independent think tank Denkwerk, our country risks falling behind if a targeted migration policy is not implemented soon writes the FD. However, it seems that policymakers are still dragging their feet on making much-needed decisions about who and how to attract migrant workers.
But let's dwell for a moment on financial journalist Arno Wellens' logical solution: "Solution to aging is simple, and this time, easy: work longer and flip more." It seems he has a rather creative take on the problem. Indeed, too few children are being born in the Netherlands to maintain the labor force.
The think tank emphasizes that the Netherlands, like other European countries, needs immigrant workers to maintain prosperity. By attracting workers from outside Europe, our country can select who is needed to keep the economy running while ensuring public services and social cohesion. It is crucial to make decisions now that will determine the future of our country.
But let's face it, the idea of selecting who comes to the Netherlands sounds funny in itself. Will we soon have to start having job interviews with potential immigrant workers? "What are your qualifications? How many years of experience do you have in rocking?" At least it would add a new dimension to the job application process.

So while thinking about migration policy, maybe let's stay more serious and focus on realistic solutions. But hey, a little humor in this discussion can't hurt. Who knows, maybe soon we can expect a Minister of Longer Working and More Hopping in the Cabinet. In any case, it would make for interesting debates.
