This episode examines a strategic report from Spain’s National Office of Foresight and Strategy on the long-term role of migration through 2075. The study argues that restricting immigration would sharply reduce GDP, accelerate the decline of rural agriculture, and deepen labor shortages in essential sectors such as healthcare, elder care, and hospitality. We also explore why migrant workers are seen as vital to sustaining Spain’s pension system and preventing the country’s demographic and economic decline.
