Panel Discussion

“The New Intergenerational Contract: Social Policy for Europe’s Demographic Transition”

Demographic change will demand a lot from all generations: putting pressure on care networks, pension systems, and solidarity. Will people come together to support each other? Or will there be polarisation? What are the policy strategies? Leading experts discuss the impacts of demographic change on welfare states – and how they must be countered to make Europe resilient.

Where? Permanent Representation of the Federal Republic of Germany to the EU, Jacques de Lalaingstraat 8/14, 1040 Brussels, Belgium. The event is free but requires registration.
