"According to the Commission’s estimates, demographic changes are in danger of profoundly altering population structure and age groups. Thus, the number of young people aged 0 to 14 would drop from 100 million to 66 million in 2050. As for the population of working age, it would peak at 331 million around 2010 and would then decrease regularly to around 268 million in 2050. Faced with this situation, the EU must provide a suitable solution in order to protect employment among older people, but also among young people. I voted for this initiative report by the European Parliament which calls on Member States to think about the possibility of scrapping legal retirement ages but which also provides the broad outlines of a policy enabling us to fight against discrimination, to set lifelong learning as a goal, to promote a reflection on new ways of organising work within businesses – particularly with a view to reducing stress. Furthermore, this resolution contains many initiatives highlighting, for instance, the fight against youth unemployment or in favour of a decent pension and proposing a European Pact for the over-50s."@en1
