Wouldn’t this be reflected in the pyramid I posted above?
Afaict migration helps to stabilize the ratio, but is seemingly not enough improve it. To do that we would need to have more migration than we currently do.
It is and it does. In the 1970s there were about 800k births per year, but the pyramid you posted shows significantly more then 800k population for the 45-55 age group in Germany. The population of Germany is still growing and pretty much every forecast has been predicting a decline for a long time.
