This report sheds light on the economic, budgetary and societal challenges that policy makers in Europe will have to face in the future as a result of the ageing population. Demographic trends mean that the proportion of workers supporting those in retirement will halve from an average of four today, to just two, by 2060.The report’s long-term projections provide an indication of the timing and scale of challenges that can be expected so as to inform European policy makers about the scale and timing of the challenges they must face. The report is structured in two parts. The first one describes the underlying assumptions: the population projection, the labour force projection and the macroeconomic assumptions used. The second part presents the long-term budgetary projections on pensions, health care, long-term care, education and unemployment benefits. Statistical annexes give an overview of the projection results by area and by country. (Edited publisher abstract)

A snapshot of what it means to be old in Europe today and the demographic changes Europe will experience over the next half century. This factpack sets out the evidence on a number of areas including health and life expectancy, with men born in Western Europe today expected to live for 67.5 years in good health. It also includes a focus feature on pensioner poverty with evidence showing that over 70 per cent of Bulgarian pensioners living in material deprivation. And it looks at the employment and retirement prospects of older workers, where it finds that on average, only 1 in 2 55-64 year olds are employed across the region. The factpack also investigates the costs of ageing, comparing spending on pensions, health and long term care across Europe. Here it finds that while Denmark spends over €5,000 euros per person on social protection in old age, Latvia, Romania and Croatia spend only one tenth of this. (Edited publisher abstract)
