...more politically deft government would be unable to raise Japan's birthrate enough to make a dent in the demographics. And that puts pressure on the Prime Minister to figure out a more creative way to augment the country's declining workforce, not least by promoting immigration, expanding labor participation by women and the elderly and improving worker productivity through innovation. Abe clearly recognizes that this has to be a priority. In his campaign book, Towards a Beautiful Country, he writes that Japan should be "seen by people around the world as a place where they want to come...
...Make Immigration Smarter Europe is shrinking. Across the E.U., women are not having enough children to hold population levels steady. Europe's also aging. By 2050, over 30% of Europeans will be 65 or older, and there aren't enough young Europeans to replace their labor skills or pay for their pensions. And, if the E.U. seriously wants to achieve the Lisbon Agenda goal of becoming "the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-driven economy in the world" by 2010, it will need way more highly qualified researchers than Europe's universities can turn out. The argument that immigration...
...free loan of 10,000 euros, as well as to subsidize 500,000 starting jobs for citizens in that age bracket.

When the U.S. invaded in October 2001, it was with a small number of mostly special-forces soldiers; the strategy all but ensured that the U.S. would have to outsource the messy and labor-intensive duties of maintaining order in a power vacuum. This meant using, and paying, the existing warlords to do the U.S.'s dirty work against Mullah Omar's Taliban and bin Laden's al-Qaeda...
Labour needed that cash. At the beginning of the 1990s, the party was close to bankruptcy. Most of its income came from labor unions, but union membership had dwindled, and party membership, another source of funds, had more than halved from a high in the 1950s of 1 million. (It is now less than 200,000.) Blair took over the helm of the party in 1994 and with the help of Levy, a self-made multimillionaire who started his fortune managing middle-of-the-road rock bands, began romancing the business community. The strategy paid off handsomely; business rushed...
