More Years, Better Lives - The Potential and Challenges of Demographic Change

Demographic change has been internationally recognized as one of the most serious issues of our time, particularly in the developed world. It has to do with sharply rising life expectancy and falling fertility rates, to which complex migration patterns are no stranger. The Joint Programming Initiative MYBL - More Years, Better Lives - The Potential and Challenges of Demographic Change seeks to respond concertedly to this challenge on a European scale. Supported by the European Union, it is composed of 14 European countries, joined by Canada, with the aim of fostering collaborative research on the policy implications of demographic change by aligning national strategies.
