The original article that can be translated from Dutch to English
Do immigrants contribute to public finances?
Do welfare states attract and benefit immigrant groups?
Is immigration necessary to bear the costs of an aging population?
What is the role of education and cultural factors in all this?
And what about the second generation?
A multidisciplinary team of four experienced researchers investigated this topic in the Netherlands. They had access to unique anonymised microdata from Statistics Netherlands on all inhabitants of the country. In estimating the fiscal impact of immigration, the net lifetime contribution of immigrants to public coffers was estimated by employing the method of generational
accounting.
The result is this book, with the eloquent title Borderless Welfare State. It answers the questions, contains a wealth of previously unpublished information, and draws conclusions with
strong policy relevance. The findings may inspire researchers and policymakers in other countries, particularly in Europe, with a comparable welfare state.
An earlier version of this book sparked debate in the Netherlands. The Dutch government stated that they did not need this type of information. One could only guess the underlying reason
for this position. Is it the inconvenient message from Borderless Welfare State that, if immigration continues by the current
numbers and composition, welfare states like the Dutch one become unsustainable?

The question in descriptive statistics is always about significance, so the story is that when wild animals approach areas within the city perimeters, they feel the dangers of hunger, pollution, and the threat of disappearance due to the loss of their hunting grounds from construction, deforestation, etc. We are all connected to living life in an environment that is clean and has quality built into it.

Welcome back in 2025! It will be an eventful year, and hopefully, many solutions will be finally applied. Let's remind ourselves of the role of statistics "Statistics is a science because its methods are systematic and have general application. However, it's also an art because the successful application of statistical methods depends on the skill and experience of the statistician."
Uncertainty is statistics; therefore, the current conditions require knowledge and skills. Education is no longer about knowing little bits about something but rather about understanding what and how to organize calm and peace.
Why quality is so important in all areas of our lives?

#politics do not work because # politicians have never understood the #scientific #principles of #chemistry, #biology, #math, #physics, and #statistics. We need #educated people who can decide what a #government can or can not do. #freedomIsNotToBeGivenAwayCanada
So many have #visions to develop but the #results are #inferior. So, the #model does not fit the #data therefore what do we need to #change the model or the data? #learnStatistics
When #health will really be considered by #politicians "The first constant is that the health of individuals and populations depends on much more than health care. What makes a person or a community healthy? Health depends on factors such as income and education, whether we grew up in a safe and nurturing environment, whether we are employed and the genes
that we inherited from our parents." www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/pub/82-222-x/82-222-x20…
In a competency-based education, the professors are the subject matter experts which implies they worked in the area they teach. Self-paced education therefore is more difficult to achieve while keeping the costs low. #competencyEducation #selfpacedEducation
