Did France's 10% immigrants solve the pension problem? (not actual title, that's my question)

Is like arguing the problem with pyramid schemes is they just need to get more people on the bottom of the pyramid when in fact the whole set up is always unsustainable long term.

So the article claims:

the only way the European Union can fight elderly poverty and maintain its expensive entitlement programs is to increase immigration.

Does anyone know, or have any sources on the benefits all those migrants had on France's economy and "entitlement programs"?

I'm asking honestly. This aging population, no workers = no money for pensions argument is one I've seen a lot.

Did anyone made a study on how much these migrants cost/how much they bring to the economy?

it's neoliberal talk. They could just raise taxes on the rich. Or realize they print fiat money from nothing so can't run out of it.

This is a false premise. There is no 'aging population', this is a globalist lie. The current native population replacement is amply sufficient in the West, because there are less workers needed, due to automation and robotics. So, something else is behind it.

Even 100% immigrants won't solve the problem. On the contrary, the system will stop to exist.
