Ask east Europe if they have immigration
Besides, look at Spain, despite a high immigration is still expecting to lose 11% of its population in 2050...

Demographics are never static and every statistic that predicts population numbers in 40+ years is laughable. There is so much that could happen, we will never know until we're there. Less people may be a relief for the labor market also, especially in countries that currently suffer from high unemployment.

How can a declining population be good for labor markets? A declining population is an aging population, which means fewer people producing for themselves. That means that those who are employed will have to be taxed more to support the aged, meaning that there will be less consumption. Look to Japan as a model of what happens when people stop having babies. Eventually they won't be able to borrow more money and the economy will go up in a cloud of dust.
The problem is that many of today's young people are selfish and entitled. Cell phones and vacations are more important than raising children, the future of the human race.

I like it, more space and recources for everyone. It's just a transition period, when all those Baby Boomers are eventually dead we won't have masses of old people either.

It's going to take at least 40 years for the last of the Baby Boomers to die off. There will always be old people. People are living longer than before, for one thing.
