Europe is an ageing continent.

According to a recent Eurobarometer survey, Europeans also think that population ageing (42%) is the most pressing demographic challenge.

We've launched a wide range of tools around 4 pillars to address this issue:
1. Balance family and work life
2. Support younger generations
3. Empower older generations and sustaining their welfare
4. Address labour shortages

With this, we call on countries to develop policies to tackle demographic change.

@EU_Commission I assume in the future to combat this issue we are going to build incubators so that new children can be born without the burden of raising them.
"Mother" & "Father" will be just another job.

Or even better have robots raise them ... wink wink #IAmMother

Joking aside the #EU should seriously increase the incentives.

@EU_Commission 42% is not big enough number. Politicians won't recognize, that their country needs migrants to fill the gaps.

@EU_Commission embrace immigrants! We need them and they're coming anyway!

@EU_Commission how about opening the door to refugees? Just a thought... Children are dying in the Mediterranean and all over the world.

@EU_Commission can we make a fast pass immigration program for US residents to help fill the gaps 🙏

@EU_Commission Another way to target demographic decline is to extend healthy lifespans. #Longevity science is making slow but steady progress and the conference for the future of europe did show some popular support for adding public resources toward this research.

More automation further reduces the amount of working people required to maintain our quality of life, and UBI or negative income tax would spread the benefits fairly for greatest social stability...
