초록
This article addresses the likely demographic stagnation that the European Union will experience over the next fifty years. First I present data projecting that the period 2010-2060 will see the EU population both stagnate and grow older. I particularly focus on the EU’s dramatic growth of its old-age dependency ratio and indicate the problems that this development implies for funding retirement and health care benefits across the EU. Finally, I argue that fiscal and social system restructuring alone cannot solve these problems, and that an intelligent program for increasing immigration into the EU will be necessary.
