On 30 June 2021, the European Commission adopted a communication on its long-term vision for the EU's rural areas. The communication identifies areas of action with a view to creating new momentum for the EU's rural areas, while recognising their diversity. In recent decades, in many Member States rural areas have experienced depopulation. Such regions face a range of environmental and socio-economic challenges. These include, for example, lower income per capita, a higher percentage of the population ...

EPRS analysis of the positions ...

Dieses Gutachten ist das zweite einer Serie, die der EPRS zu den demografischen Aussichten für die Europäische Union (EU) erstellt. Es kommt auf die Demografie an. Die Wirtschaft, der Arbeitsmarkt, die Gesundheitsversorgung, die Altersversorgung, die Umwelt, die Generationengerechtigkeit und die Wahlergebnisse – auf sie alle wirkt sich die Demografie aus. Die EU hat ein erhebliches Bevölkerungswachstum durchgemacht – um ungefähr ein Viertel seit 1960 – und hat derzeit mehr als 500 Millionen Menschen ...

The European Union has seen its population grow substantially – by around a quarter in the five and a half decades since 1960 – to a current level of over 500 million people. However, this population is now growing too slowly, and is even expected to decline in the longer term. Issues of demography are likely to have a considerable impact on EU society. Most models used for analysing population trends suggest that, in the coming years, the EU's population will continue to age as a result of consistently ...

Over the last few years, Europe has seen a significant increase in the number of migrants arriving at its borders. The European Commission's 2016 action plan on the integration of third-country nationals has highlighted the resources that are available from the European structural and investment funds to support the integration process, with potential measures covering education, housing, health, social inclusion and labour market related investments. Although migration is predominantly an urban ...

The rural development concept has evolved significantly over recent decades to become a fully-fledged policy at European Union level. It has adapted to an enlarged Europe which, from 2004, welcomed 13 new countries, adding much diversity to an already strongly contrasted rural Europe. Adaptation was also needed to cope with important socio-economic and demographic changes affecting rural areas, and to face new challenges such as climate change, the production of energy from renewable sources, and ...
