Relever les défis démographiques de l’Union: mise en œuvre de la boîte à outils «démographie» 2023
La population de l’Union vieillit et devrait diminuer. Le recul de la population en âge de travailler entraîne des risques de pénurie aggravée de main-d’œuvre, de pression accrue sur les budgets publics, de creusement des disparités territoriales et de dépeuplement. Ces phénomènes peuvent avoir une incidence négative sur la compétitivité de l’Union, freiner les transitions écologique et numérique et nuire à la cohésion sociale. Si la gestion de la transition démographique relève de la responsabilité ...

Towards a new regulatory framework for European population statistics
Census data and demographic statistics are of great relevance for policy-making at the European, national, regional and local levels. At a time where the European Union (EU) is undergoing major demographic changes, driven by an ageing population, low fertility rates and increased migration flows, demand for accurate and timely population statistics rises. In parallel, owing to progress in digitalisation, statistical data collection methods are shifting from traditional population censuses and surveys ...
Young people in the EU: A demographic snapshot
Why should young people in the EU worry about demographic change? For one thing, because the share of children and young people in the total population has been decreasing, while the share of elderly people continues to grow. Adding these figures up means today's children are expected to face an increased burden in supporting the remainder of the population as they grow up and move into work. Indeed, in 2019, out of the 447 million inhabitants of the EU-27, 68 million were children (aged 14 or less ...
Living in the EU: Demography
Important effects of the ageing of its population will influence the future of the European Union (EU). The population is dramatically ageing, driven both by significant increases in life expectancy and by lower fertility rates than in the past. Population growth is therefore slowing down, along with an increasing old-age dependency ratio. Free movement within the EU, in particular east-west movement of EU citizens, has increased, reducing the population of some Member States, while increasing that ...
