| Annotation | The threesome of ageing in European societies - fertility decline, increased life expectancy ad migration - is often overshadowed by current crises that need immediate attention. Because European states will get older, smaller and more diverse, all branches of our welfare systems will be affected, with health care in a key position to shape demographic development. Investing in health and maintaining high-quality living into old age will allow us to make the most of our longer lives. Demographic diversity will put additional pressure on European unity; so we should perceive population ageing as a common challenge. (RH). |
