Demographic changes in the majority of European countries with the increase in the elderly population (with a consequent increase in the demand for personal care services) and the decrease in the number of people of working age (leading to the weakening of the sustainability of current national pension systems), together with the economic, social, demographic and political imbalances constitute the grounds for the growth of international migration to Europe. Looks at how this phenomenon may reduce the consequences of a progressively ageing population, particularly with regard to job opportunities for immigrants in some sectors of the job market, such as that of elder care.
