Why we do it

Labor Market Dilemmas

The demographic shift in Europe  is causing significant labor shortages due to a decrease in the working-age population. For example, Italy's working-age population (15 to 64 years old) has shrunk from 66.4% in 2000 to 57.9% in 2020, signaling a crucial labor market contraction.

Strained Public Finance

The rising proportion of elderly people increases the burden on public finances due to the higher spending on pensions, healthcare, and other age-related benefits. A case in point is Spain, where public expenditure on pensions has climbed from 11.1% of GDP in 2015 to 12.5% in 2020.

Economic Growth Hurdles

The potential for economic growth is being impeded by a declining working-age population and fewer young people. Greece's projected GDP growth, for instance, was lowered from 1.9% to 1.1% in 2023, reflecting this reality.

Healthcare and Social Care Demand Surge

The mounting needs of an aging population can put a severe strain on existing healthcare and social services. According to estimates, Italy will require an additional 30,000 healthcare workers by 2025 to meet the increased demand.
