Demographic changes as a challenge for the geo-economya geo-policy of the European Union

Summary/Abstract: The European Union faces many challenges, which may in the next few decades, change its geo-economic and geopolitical position. Among these challenges we can include, inter alia, the ongoing population changes (slow population growth and namely population ageing). The aim of this paper is to assess current population trends and prospects for the development of the population of the European Union and to outline possible effects and tools to address the aging of the population. We focus here not only on the European Union as a whole, but also on the comparative profile of the member countries. The study is based on an analysis of statistical indicators and projections of the European Statistical Office.
