Some 320 participants attended the fourth Demography Forum, which took place on 6-7 May in Brussels.

The Forum was opened by Commissioner Andor and focussed on investing for Europe’s demographic future.

A series of workshops within the Forum dealt with:

• Supporting youth opportunities;
• Improving work-life balance;
• Enabling people to be active longer;
• Successful inclusion of second-generation migrants;
• Regions in rapid demographic and economic decline and inequalities within regions.

During the conference breaks, participants crowded around some ten exhibit stands from our partners in demography research and policy.
