Summary: Andorran councillor Víctor Pintos has called for limits on demographic growth and selective immigration quotas based on the country’s actual labor needs. While recognizing that businesses need foreign workers, he argues that immigration should be kept to a minimum and that economic and population growth should not become uncontrolled.

Pintos also rejects relying on continued immigration to sustain Andorra’s pension system. Instead, he advocates fundamental reforms, including higher social security contributions, changes to pension calculations, a higher retirement age, and greater use of private pension schemes.

He argues that immigration and pension policies should be considered together to balance business needs, economic growth, social security sustainability, demographic pressures and Andorran identity. The debate reflects a broader challenge for Andorra: maintaining economic growth and addressing labor shortages without depending on continuous population expansion.
