The European Union (EU) currently has to cope with demographic decline, low natural growth and the ageing of part of its population. To respond to this challenge, the Commission sets out a number of recommendations drawing mainly on the renewed Lisbon strategy to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by longer lives, whilst also sparking off demographic renewal.

The demographic transition is the third transition shaping the future of Europe after the green and digital transitions. In the coming years, the European Union (EU) will have to address the impacts of ageing, demographic decline and labour market shortages. It needs an efficient migration management system. The EU's capacity to provide opportunities for all segments of society, from children and young people to the elderly and other vulnerable groups such as migrants, will be fundamental for promoting positive change. To do this, population dynamics, demographic change and migration need to be better understood.

Even as the 2013-2017 “migration crisis” is increasingly in the past, EU countries still struggle to come up with alternative solutions to foster safe, orderly, and regular migration pathways, Europeans continue to look in the rear-view mirror.This Report is an attempt to reverse the perspective, by taking a glimpse into the future of migration to Europe. What are the structural trends underlying migration flows to Europe, and how are they going to change over the next two decades? How does migration interact with specific policy fields, such as development, border management, and integration? And what are the policies and best practicies to manage migration in a more coherent and evidence-based way?

Presents information about fertility, mortality and migration, in Europe, to show possible future developments in population age structures and sizes.

On the threshold of a new century the organisers of the European Population Conference 1999 (EPC99) in The Hague decided not only to highlight the population trends that Europe is facing today but also the changes in the 21 st century that are set to shape the future of Europe. They decided to focus on comparative issues, both in time and in space. In order to trace the degree of homogeneity and heterogeneity of European populations over time, converging and diverging population trends that are specific to contemporary and future Europe need to be explored. This is reflected in EPC99's motto: 'European Populations on the threshold of the new millennium; unity in diversity. ' Future demographic developments will be caused by specific economic, social and cultural conditions in Europe, and will, in turn, have a major influence on future economic and social conditions. To the extent that demographic trends differ across countries, separate countries may face different social and economic problems. As demographic trends tend to have long-lasting effects, it is important to assess the possible consequences of future demographic developments at an early stage. On the occasion of EPC99 , two of the organisers, Statistics Netherlands (SN) and the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI), decided to produce a set of two population scenarios, showing the possible impact of converging and diverging population trends in the next century.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Politik - Thema: Europäische Union, Note: 2,0, Universität Wien, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This paper is questioning, if the basic motivation of the EU policy-making within the EU-Employment and Social Policy, as a answer to the demographic aging of the next decades, is based on a market logic. The demographic aging of the next decades will have a fundamental impact on the societies of the European Union. The EU-Commission as well as the Council of the European Union and the European Council identified two fundamental threats for the common market and the monetary union owed by demographic aging: First,the decrease of the average annual GDP between 2030 and 2050 owed by fewer people in work. Second, the threat for the common monetary and economic union by the higher burden of the national social security systems by an overaged population. The paper embeds this question in a theoretical framework by analyzing the emerging of the open method of coordination as a result of divergences between intergouvernemental and supranational forces.

Examines the region's demographic challenges, the curious new phenomenon of the underworked European, and policies that stand in the way of the region benefiting from its health advantage.

"The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
