Abstract

In the short run, the cross-border migration of elder-care workers is a zero-sum game, with the source country losing and the host country gaining. This offends our sense of justice, especially since the host populations tend to be richer. In this chapter, I argue that we ought to direct our gaze beyond the short run, at the long run. Once we do that, we will see possibilities of non-zero-sum games that are mutually beneficial. The large question arises, though, as to how nations may choose among them by committing to some principle of justice.

Fußnoten
1
The United Nations (2006, Table A.III.3) defines an elderly person as someone who is 65 years or older and a young person as someone who is between 15 and 64 years old.
 
2
It is also suggestive of the harshness of the work that the turnover rate among care workers in nursing homes is relatively high (Smith and Baughman 2007, pp. 24–25).
 
3
There is also the risk that, as a result of population loss, the source population may not be able to sustain itself. The risk is high if the two populations are similar.
 
4
This relationship does not hold in general. The dependency ratio rises back up to 0.44 when the rate of immigration of young people increases to 1.0 million.
 
5
Immigrant caregivers substitute for “informal caregivers,” who are spouses and children. Studies show that, as more elder care is bought in the market, informal caregivers’ health improves (Christakis and Iwashyna 2003; Gaugler et al. 2007). This is another reason why immigration is good for national health.
 
6
The Nash Solution is the solution where the product of the net gains of participants is the greatest. (The largest rectangle that can be formed from a line segment is a square, which has equal borders.) In our case, the gains are the decreases in dependency ratios. With an annual flow of 1.0 million immigrants, the product (0.3 − 0.5)(0.5 − 0.7) = 0.04; with an annual flow of 0.5 million immigrants, the product (0.4 − 0.5)(0.6 − 0.7) = 0.01. Since 0.04 is greater than 0.01, the annual flow of 1.0 million immigrants is the Nash Solution.
