Europe's aging population
Europe is the region of the world that is expected to age and depopulate the most in the coming decades. It will have a declining number of working-age people, while the population in the rest of the world will grow. UN data clearly shows that we are moving towards 10 billion people in the world. These increases will be seen in South Asia and North Africa. Europe, on the other hand, is on a trajectory of shrinking. This will force migration to this part of the world. On the one hand, to prevent economies from collapsing, and on the other, to keep pension and care systems functioning. This means that Europe needs to rethink its migration strategies and better prepare for the challenges of the future.
"We can draw on the experiences of countries like France, Germany, and the Nordic countries," Andrzej Kubisiak, deputy director of the Polish Economic Institute, said.
“We can analyze what went wrong and how to integrate migrants better. Poland has undergone a very rapid transformation from a strong emigration country to an immigration country over the past 10 years,” he added.
