Welfare migration : is the net fiscal burden a good measure of its economic impact on the welfare of the native-born population? : comment on Munich Economic Summit, June 2004
Razin, Asaf; Tsadḳah, Efrayim - 2004
Migration of young workers (as distinct from retirees), even when driven in by the generosity of the welfare state, slows down the trend of increasing dependency ratio. But, even though low-skill migration improves the dependency ratio, it nevertheless burdens the welfare state. Recent studies...

Migration into the welfare state : tax and migration competition
