Europe is an ageing continent.
According to a recent Eurobarometer survey, Europeans also think that population ageing (42%) is the most pressing demographic challenge.
We've launched a wide range of tools around 4 pillars to address this issue:
1. Balance family and work life
2. Support younger generations
3. Empower older generations and sustaining their welfare
4. Address labour shortages
With this, we call on countries to develop policies to tackle demographic change.
