82 regions in 16 EU countries are severely affected.

Tackling the shrinking of the working age population requires higher productivity and more innovation, and thus skilled workers.

If left unaddressed, this situation will threaten the long-term prosperity of the EU.

As the transition to net-zero globally speeds up, our economies will rely ever more on international trade.
