Abstract

The objective of the paper is to examine the future of populations within the Council of
Europe member states, identify the main trends and discuss their policy implications.
The analysis focuses on the impact that future demographic trends will have on the
following social domains: education, the labour market, health care and care of the
elderly and social protection. The study aims to be policy-oriented and to provide
an overview of future demographic trends for 2005-2050 in the Council of Europe
member states, as well as presenting an analysis related to selected policies and an
interpretation of these trends. The analysis of population dynamics in the coming 45
years is based on the United Nations population projection of 2005.
