Consider This from NPR

While some countries are seeing their populations decline and grow older, others are growing fast. That has economic implications. Could migration help?
NPR's Emily Feng reports on the long term consequences of China's shrinking population.
We also hear from Lant Pritchett, research director with the think tank Labor Mobility Partnerships, about the ways in which migration could help tackle population imbalances. 
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
