Demographic change is having a negative impact on a considerable number of regions. The ‘2023 Report on the Impact of Demographic Change’, will help ensure that policy making is robust and targeted. @dubravkasuica @EU_Commission @EU_CoR

Several regions are facing a ‘talent development trap'. The ‘talent booster mechanism’ will support regions in training, retaining and attracting people as well as the skills and the competences needed to address the impact of the demographic transition. @dubravkasuica

If left unaddressed, the brain drain may affect the long-term sustainability of the European project! We ask for urgent and concrete measures on the ground in order to diminish the brain drain, shrinking working age population & to support harnessing talents in the 🇪🇺. @Emil_Boc

Regions specifically affected by the green & digital transition, such as coal and carbon-intensive regions, as well as automotive regions, are prime candidates for the Talent Booster Mechanism, as they will have several workers in need of upskilling and reskilling. #TanyaHristova

I call on colleagues, in particular those coming from regions affected by green & digital transitions to test the new Talent Booster Mechanism in its pilot phase, this year. Your active role will encourage skilled people of your regions to choose to remain. @tzitzikostas @EU_CoR

The #TalentBoosterMechanism presented by @EU_Commission Vice President @dubravkasuica will support the EU to train, retain & attract #young people to work in the region they live in. By strengthening territorial resilience we will leave no one and no place behind. @tzitzikostas

We need to discuss vocational education and basic jobs, without which we cannot have a decent standard of living. @BrunoHranic @HDZ_HR @EU_CoR

I strongly feel that we miss real action. We need all policies and tools to bring quality life to rural areas. We need to talk to young talented people not to think on their behalf. Let's act together to stop brain drain and retain talented people in all regions. @radim_srsen
