Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines the impact of immigrant admission on the welfare of native residents. It considers factors such as the imperfect substitutability between native and immigrant labor, the cost of educating immigrant children, and the indirect effects on the pay-as-you-go (PAYG) pension system. Utilizing data from Japan, this study conducts a numerical analysis. The results suggest that allowing immigrants into the country, even if they are not perfectly complementary to native workers, can potentially raise the wages and overall well-being of the native population.
