Abstract
Against the background of the declining birth rate and the increasing number of elderly people, the labour market shortage caused by the ageing population puts considerable financial pressure on the welfare state. Previous literature has proposed associated solutions, and opening up immigration policies has received increasing attention as one of the possible approaches. However, there is not enough research to prove how effective immigration actually is in ameliorating the financial pressures of an ageing population on the welfare state. By innovatively introducing the variable of type of welfare state, this paper explores the different preferences of different countries in choosing immigrants as workforces in the face of population ageing. It concludes that immigration has a more pronounced effect on improving the demographics of liberal and conservative welfare states and fills a research gap in the relationship between immigration and the welfare state.
