"I voted in favour of this report on the initiative as I believe that demographic change should not be considered as a problem, but rather as a great opportunity for Member States to carry out reforms. The increase in life expectancy and the ageing of the population present two of today’s great challenges in the field of demographic change and have an impact on the political, social and economic circumstances of every country. To this end, structural policy should take up these challenges, concentrating on the needs of the elderly, children and families, on the necessity to employ skilled labour, focusing on increasing the inclusion of women in the labour market as well as on the use of Structural Funds to adapt to different regional scenarios. Furthermore, I believe that it is very important to strengthen aid to regions characterised by depopulation and by population ageing in order to guarantee that these regions are in a position to benefit from Structural Funds. To this effect, it could be useful to promote the importance of entrepreneurship and innovation, of social infrastructures and integrated urban development. I hope that all Member States will be able to adopt their own support strategies which are nevertheless coordinated by the various relevant authorities. In order to distribute Structural Funds, it is certainly necessary to bear in mind the different levels of development between regions."@en1
