Demographic change

Practical information

Summary

Demographic change is the third transformation shaping the future of Europe, together with the green transition and digitalisation. Unfortunately, it is also the one that attracts the least attention. Demographic change concerns all of us, and will affect the future of our children. The objective of this OIO is to present the outlook for 2040 as well as the policies that organised civil society are calling for in order to keep the European social model sustainable. It will look into the link between demography and AI, the labour market and social systems.
