In my opinion, it isn’t a bad thing (in fact, it’s critical for our survival).  Many countries worry about declining populations and the inverted demographic pyramid.  What they never talk about, is the fact that they could bump up their populations if they allowed more immigration. There are plenty of countries with LOTS of people that could emigrate to a declining country.  IMHO, immigration is the key to economic harmony in a time of declining birth rates.
