"population growth either through higher birth rates or more immigration. Both approaches are aimed at more workers shorter term, and regrettably, more retires longer terms, where more population growth is needed to deal with the delayed problem."

Immigrants on average arrive at about age 33. Shortly after they arrive on these shores they enter the most productive period of their lives. Immigrants do not always have the experience and training to be highly skilled labor. They often compensate for this by working multiple jobs. Once their kids are old enough to start leaving the nest, their immediate need for income diminishes. Even the least skilled when they arrive have skills that benefit economic productivity a decade later.

The best way to sustain a growing economy is to have mild sustained population growth through a consistent means. Birth is probably preferred, but gaps can be supplemented with immigrants thirty years later. When called for, I prefer legal immigration with a path towards citizenship.
