Preface
Ageing is first and foremost a great achievement, the reflection of Europe’s high level of economic development and high standards of living. It will be difficult to maintain the potential for growth and employment against a background of shrinking working age population and ageing workforce. We all want to live longer and in better health.
This in turn will enable us to remain active and independent longer than previous generations. Young adults need help to realise their plans with regard to raising a family. In this respect, the postponement of the age of mothers when bearing their first child should be a matter of concern.
