In 60 to 70 years population will plummet and people of European stock will be a rarity, the countryside will be deserted. A large Museum managed by Asians.
When you said Asians, do you mean Asians as Pakistanians or Asians as Chinese?
Hmm... This one has to be easy on Europe. Have to say put money into 'construction' stocks ...those that do a good and efficient job of building strong walls. If Hadrian was alive he'd be green with envy at what could be done now to keep out modern 'Picts'. And last but not least....forget about bridge-building....;-).... Really the EU is in for a very bad bit of downtime.
.....with all these continuous waves of immigrants, including Africans and Muslims? Will multi-culturalism work?
"Multi-culturalism" is a smokescreen.
The real question is whether proportionally lower average wages compared to the 1950s-1990s in the countries of early industrialization will work over a greater, global population base.
Maybe, maybe not. It has been working quite well for a few, mixed results for the many.
As for Europe, economist Nouriel Roubini, who predicted recession due to the US housing finance disaster about a year or two beforehand (in 2005-2006) when it was politically incorrect to do so - and so he did it timidly -, foresees in 2016 a significant probability of disintegration in the EU.
Not that he's a particular genius for predicting either one, but he adds some authoritativeness to what a handful of commoners can already see for themselves.
Anyway, look up yourselves today's article for details.
Is a slower pace of integration, EU and globally, and conservation of territorial integrity better?
Really multicultural with Europeans becoming minorities in their own countries.
With serious racial issues, as the shrinking European population will self segregate as it dies out.
Much more crime than today as many muslims (sorry but it's true) will have a hard time adapting to the concept of multicultural society demanding the society to turn their way!
Much more issues at the government level as muslim politicians will gain more ground and power and many will demand the society to cater more and more to their people.
Big brother watching everyone in order to keep everyone safe.
Governments completely ran by businesses and big companies (like in the US)
Can't believe the pessimistic mindset a few of the people around here have. When the economies will start growing again, Euroskeptical parties will poll only around 10% like they did before the crisis. They have a big pull amongst those who have seen their conditions worsen during the economical crisis. The parties who have a stable basis to keep going are only a few like Five Star Movement in Italy or Front Nationale in France (mostly because Marine is so versatile i could see her shifting even further towards the center)

The middle east has a pretty chaotic future.
India will become more influential but with tons of poverty still.
Latin America will most likely be developed as it is already happening in several of the countries there
Russia old and with not much power but still playing tough
Muslims are only a really small percentage in North America and they aren't coming in the thousands. As for Latin American, there's been talk of countries like Argentina or Uruguay reaching levels comparable to that of Western Europe since the start of the XX century but it has yet to happen

, there is no reason otherwise for China to support Russia. Same with everyone else.
