"We are facing a challenge, namely, to tackle demographic change in a practical way, through targeted policies and good allocation of financial resources. Unfortunately, we are witnessing the ageing of the European population. Our population growth rate is among the lowest in the world, while the birth rate is below the replacement level of an average of 2.1 children per woman. Demographic change will drastically change the political, social and economic situation in Europe, especially due to the crisis, the retirement age and the considerable migratory flows to which Europe’s borders are subject. Furthermore, the cities will have to deal with a population influx, while according to estimates, the population of around 20 regions will fall by more than 10%. There is no time to lose. We need targeted policies, concrete and visible efforts and progress within a short time, tackling female and youth employment, for example, and the integration of people with disabilities."@en1
