"The European population is the oldest in the world and, as a result, managing demographic change is one of the core tasks for the future. Demographic change has different impacts on different regions, depending on a range of factors.
The right solution to this problem requires different adaptation strategies. It is clear, for example, that quality of life in regions with a declining population – particularly in rural areas – is defined differently than in regions with a growing population. I firmly believe, however, that in seeking an optimal solution, it is essential in all circumstances to take account of the individual needs of different population groups.
In order to find answers to the challenges posed by demographic change, it is important to try and create the sort of conditions that will allow EU Member State citizens to balance work, family and private life.
It is also important to improve coordination between the competent authorities at all levels so as to allow positive advances to be made, for example, through the sharing of experience and proven approaches to a given problem. If we make the necessary effort for suitable guidance on demographic change and find a response at European, national and regional level, it will not be a threat for Europe but, on the contrary, an opportunity."@en1
