Although large-scale migration from labor-surplus regions to deficit regions would benefit recipient economies, it would almost certainly trigger popular resistance, especially in Europe and East Asia, making it difficult to support. Increasing the labor-force participation rate, especially among women and the elderly, might ease tight labor markets, but this alone would be insufficient to counter the decline in working-age populations.
尽管大规模从劳动力盈余地区向不足地区的移民将有利于移入经济体，单几乎肯定会引发公众抵制，特别是在欧洲和东亚，这意味着这一政策难以获得支持。增加劳动力参与率，特别是女性和老年人的参与率，或许能缓解劳动力市场的紧张，单光靠这样不足以抵消工作年龄人口下降的影响。
