Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The American heartland is poised for a demographic decline with very real consequences. Migrant Midwest tracks the history of population growth and its projected decline in the Midwest to highlight the need for increased international migration to the region. Burkham first illustrates how th…e forces of fertility and migration drove the development of the regions agricultural and industrial economies, and how the region has more recently struggled with deindustrialization, outmigration, and declining fertility, a global trend. The Midwest is now the slowest-growing region in the country and has the lowest share of immigrants, contributing to stagnation at the national level. Burkham goes on to evaluate the impact of demographic decline on the regional labor market and its fiscal implications for cities, states, and the nation. His thoughtful analysis highlights global trends in fertility decline and raises doubts about the prospect of significantly boosting fertility in modern society. This timely book proposes a bipartisan model of immigration reform designed to replenish the regions workforce and population, stabilizing communities and fueling a manufacturing renaissance. It takes seriously concerns that increases in immigration may be harmful to some Americans by presenting a nuanced view of how immigrants are integrated into local labor markets and society more generally. Ultimately, Burkham makes an argument for assimilation through residential integration. He concludes by suggesting that the coming demographic winter is a choice between managed decline and a more forward-looking vision of abundance that is consistent with the countrys character as a nation of immigrants. With the native-born population steeply declining across much of the American Midwest, Burkham proposes changes to the channels of legal migration to restore the region's economies and communities. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
