X. The impact of international migration on population age structure

International migration can modify the age structure of a population, especially when the volume of migrant inflow or outflow is sizeable compared to the resident population in the country of origin or destination. In their host countries, working-age migrants can play a significant role in easing, at least temporarily, the fiscal pressures on pension and healthcare systems that are associated with population ageing. However, because migrants often chose to continue residing in countries of destination after reaching retirement age, in some host societies international migrants comprise a large and growing share of the population also at older ages.
