"Demographic change is a current problem facing the EU, exerting an irreversible impact on society. In order to meet the EU 2020 objectives for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, demographic change needs to be approached as an opportunity rather than an inconvenience. The year 2012 is the European Year of Active Ageing and Solidarity between the Generations. The decline in the number of people of working age and the ageing population will have a crucial impact on the labour market. At the same time, youth unemployment is growing at an alarming rate, and the European Union is obliged, in practical terms, to establish a balance between generations.
An initial measure is to utilise the full potential of the European Social Fund to support opportunities for training, professional retraining and social inclusion involving women and young people. The next step must be to encourage workforce training, particularly in developing regions in countries which have joined the European Union more recently. The workforce in countries like Romania or Bulgaria is not used to its full professional capacity. Equal opportunities on the labour market will lead to beneficial competition and provide a dynamic, professionally well-trained workforce. Removing discrimination against workers, promoting their mobility, along with creating a stable vocational training system, are key factors contributing to the European Union’s future."@en1
