Every countries' drive to always grow, grow, grow the economy IS a problem (consumerism, climate, etc), but, on the other hand, paying for retiring old folks also IS a problem if so many are retiring that there are too few younger workers to pay for retirees healthcare etc. Whatever you feel about enriching a country's cultural soup, economics, encourages some immigration when the older population is, well, older. Countries with space that immigrants want to move to are lucky.
Ukraine and Russia already had rapidly aging populations, however this war pans out, I can't see smart, young, well-educated Indians or Singaporeans keen to immigrate there over the next ten years.
