European Parliament delves into demographic change

Europe is facing today unprecedented demographic change. People are living longer and fewer children are born. In this context, the European Parliament adopted 23 March 2006 a report about the challenges for politics and society due to these changes. Key issues for the MEPs are employment promotion, more attention for family needs, the reconciliation of work and family life, a balanced immigration policy and the encouragement for older people to work longer.
