Abstract: The EU population, like those of most other world regions, is living longer and in better health. Population ageing presents a number of challenges for our welfare systems and public finances. Indeed, the EU Member States spend, on average, more than a quarter of their GDP on social protection, most of it for the benefit of older people in the form of pensions, health and long-term care. Ageing is perceived by many as a threat instead of one of our greatest achievements. The growing nu ...; [Read more...]

Abstract: This report describes recent structural shifts in employment in European labour markets before, during and after the 2008–2009 recession. It finds that employment destruction across Europe in the recession was strongly polarising in terms of the wage structure, while there was less polarisation in 2010–2012. A jobsbased approach identifies how net employment shifts at Member State and EU level have been distributed across jobs in different quintiles of the wage distribution. Two altern ...; [Read more...]

Un'anali ...; [Read more...]
[S.l. : s.n.], stampa 2008
Abstract: Viene presentata una lettura integrata delle principali dinamiche che stanno determinando il progressivo invecchiamento della popolazione nella maggior parte dei Paesi ad economia avanzata. La crescita degli over 65 rappresenta, infatti, un fenomeno generalizzato, seppure con rare eccezioni rilevabili in alcuni Paesi Ue. Il forte aumento della popolazione anziana ed il forte calo della popolazione giovane ed adulta hanno determinato profonde alterazioni della struttura demografica, imp ...; [Read more...]
