At the same time, the world is ageing quickly (Germany, Italy and Japan already have more than 20% of their populations above the age of 65). Skill-based immigration is how they will solve the problem of their dwindling workforces and this is an opportunity for a young country like India (with more than half its population under the age of 35 years).
