The National Census results create uncertainty and concern

Every 10 years, the American population must participate in the National Census, which is an essential tool to measure population growth, understand the economic behavior of each state in relation to local population density, distribute seats in Congress and for the government to allocate federal funds.

The 2020 Census results have become national news and have been present in multiple discussions and debates about the US’ population density. This national debate is mainly related to the fact that population growth has decreased substantially in the last decade. In fact, the local population growth rate between 2010 and 2020 was only 7.4%, which is the lowest figure in 8 decades, since 1930.

Due to the current international traffic and how easy it could be for a specific population to grow in our times, this figure represents a red flag for the US and, mainly, for its economic system.

Do the National Census results also have something to do with immigration?

Several recent studies and research reveal that the decline in population growth is not only related to low birth rates and the fact that American families no longer see having children as a priority, but is also related to the last decade’s low immigration levels, especially during the last four years under the Donald Trump administration (2017-2021), whose intention was precisely to restrict immigration in general.

In fact, between 2015 and 2019, immigration in the US decreased by 40%. It is worth mentioning that this figure refers to a net rate, that is, immigrants who actually entered the country.

The reduction in immigration levels is possibly the main drawback

Now that it is clear that the decline in population growth is also highly dependent on immigration levels in general, it is also important to look at what are the real implications of decreasing immigration levels in the US.

First and foremost, it is imperative to understand that the main impact of immigrant communities has to do with the local economic system and, naturally, with the American socio-cultural fabric. Immigrant populations, from skilled foreigners in fields such as science to refugees, tend to become active workers in the local market, which not only strengthens but constantly drives the economy.

In fact, according to a recent Newstime report, “Migrants tend to be young, and to work. They contribute to the economy and bring dynamism to the society, along with supporting existing retirees, reducing the burden on current workers. However, this source of demographic strength is at risk”.

Therefore, reducing immigration levels is really a setback for the US and, other than that, puts the retirement-age population at risk if a decade from now there are not enough workers to fill qualified workforce shortages, which could be easily solved through immigration.
