Text tabled : A7-0350/2011

  Regina Bastos (PPE), in writing. (PT) Demographic change is a reality in the European Union. Europe’s population is ageing: it has the oldest population and the lowest population growth rate in the world. Demographic change is therefore considered the major trend of the 21st century, and it will drastically change the political, social, societal and economic situation in Europe. This report, for which I voted, identifies the following priorities: better adapting the Structural Funds to the challenges of demographic change; preventing depopulation and the social exclusion of the elderly; combating unemployment amongst women and young people; and making use of the knowledge and experience of older people. In order for Europe to achieve an adequate response to demographic change, it is important, firstly, that it be possible to determine these changes in adequate statistical terms, and, secondly, that there be better coordination between the responsible entities at all levels and an exchange of best practices.
