In order to account for the complex interactions of population dynamics, urban development, and population behavior, we have developed a comprehensive simulation framework with agent-based models on graphical processor unit computer architecture. Using as a test case the whole population of Switzerland, we have examined on an annual basis until the year 2035 the impacts of three different trends of immigration on Switzerland\u2019s social security system. Our agent-based simulations show that if the annual immigration rates are limited to 50% of today\u2019s rate, the social security system will become insolvent by 2027. On the other hand, if immigration rates are maintained, but tailored to favor large families with children, the social security system is then more sustainable.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Keywords<\/strong> : <span class=\"Keyword\">Social security,\u00a0 <\/span><span class=\"Keyword\">Impact of immigration, <\/span><span class=\"Keyword\">Agent-based model, <\/span><span class=\"Keyword\">Population simulation, <\/span><span class=\"Keyword\">Future scenarios\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s) : Marcello Marini, Ndaona Chokani Source : https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s12134-018-0631-8 Abstract:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[277],"tags":[285,7,552,15,9,98,104,531,313,308,143],"class_list":["post-2461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-demography-statistics","tag-285","tag-article","tag-demographic-impact","tag-economic-impact","tag-english-language","tag-immigration-policy","tag-living-conditions","tag-population-dynamics","tag-social-policy","tag-social-security","tag-statistical-data"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2461\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
