Yes. We Old People Are a Drain -- And in Denmark/Norway Some Young Migrants Are

 




Net fiscal impact per household in Norway by country of origin. The data are not as complete as those from Denmark or the Netherlands. They only include the cost of fiscal transfers, not the cost of healthcare, public schools and so on. So in fact, every group is significantly more fiscally costly than what is show here.
But we can still recognize the pattern from Denmark and Netherlands: Immigrants from Europe are fiscally positive, and immigrants from Muslim countries are fiscally negative.

Denmark ;  Net Contribution Per Immigrant (2023)

In Denmark, 2nd-generation immigrants from Muslim nations typically end up costing the country considerably more than 1st-generation immigrants. For example, a 2nd-generation Somali costs the Danish people $7,000 a year more, on average, than a first-generation Somali. The average government net expenditure for each 2nd-generation Somali immigrant per year in Denmark is nearly $35,000. For the privilege of hosting the world's worst immigrant group, this is what is costs Danes per Somali per year.
