Summary
The Dutch government is considering measures to cap the Netherlands’ population at 20 million by 2050, responding to a demographic commission’s recommendation.
Currently at 18 million, the population’s growth raises concerns about pressures on housing, healthcare, and education.
Immigration minister Marjolein Faber and social affairs minister Eddy van Hijum emphasized stricter asylum limits and more targeted migration policies, with further research underway.
Economists warn that an aging population might necessitate increased foreign labor or domestic reforms, as 3 million extra workers by 2040 is deemed unfeasible.
In anticipation of this I propose both Belgium and Denmark start building a wall along the border and revise their building codes so that all doorways must be made inconveniently low.
I already often hit my head on Belgian doorways so they don’t have to change much haha! Why Denmark though, The Netherlands borders Belgium and Germany, and technically France (on Saint Martin).
So, according to wikipedia there is a small shared border.
Real answer though: I’m an idiot. I remembered driving from Belgium to Denmark through the Netherlands and completely forgot passing through Germany along the way.
Still think those Danes should consider a wall.
Source? Unable to find anything.
I don’t blame you for not remembering Germany. Netherlands: Constant traffic jam. Germany: 230km/h, Denmark in a few hours without a stop 👌Also, northern Germany is boring AF
Walls are dumb though. Doesn’t work.
