Reviews

'The relationship between ageing societies and immigration raises a variety of key social and political questions. Krieger provides an invaluable examination of the issues particularly surrounding their impact on pensions, voting and public opinion. As public debate on immigration increasingly heats up, this is a very timely book.' - Steven Vertovec, University of Oxford, UK


'. . . it should be welcomed by analysts, researchers, and others interested in one of the most intractable problems of Western societies - the affordability of a welfare state when a population is ageing.'
