"Mr President, ageing is a challenge for the whole of society and for all generations in Europe. The section of the population comprising those over the age of 60 is increasing ever more quickly in Europe. That is all to the good, as it shows that we have succeeded in improving people’s well–being and quality of life in Europe.
Nevertheless, because of demographic change, we face new challenges. Matters that are being debated include the sustainability of financial provision for health care and public services, a shrinking population in certain regions, along with a decrease in their attractiveness, and pressure on pension funds.
The ageing section of our population is healthier and better educated than the previous generation. This is a worthwhile resource that needs to be harnessed. These people have plenty of potential for working and actively participating in social and family life, including voluntary work, lifelong learning, cultural activities and sport. The future of Europe will depend not just on the young, but also on those with experience of life."@en1
