| description |
Using household surveys for 24 countries
over a 10-year period, this paper investigates why the
elderly are more averse to open immigration policies than
their younger peers. The analysis finds that the negative
correlation between age and pro-immigration attitudes is
mostly explained by a cohort or generational change. In
fact, once controlling for year of birth, the correlation
between age and pro-immigration attitudes is either positive
or zero in most of the countries in the sample. Under
certain assumptions, the estimates suggest that aging
societies will tend to become less averse to open
immigration regimes over time. |
