Key Messages from the FutuRes research:

Introduction 

  The consequences of demographic change are difficult to address – but dangerous when left unchecked

             Arnstein Aassve, FutuRes Principal Investigator, Bocconi University 

Families and communities

  Resilience across the life course is shaped by employment stability, intergenerational support, and socio-demographic factors

             Agnieszka Chłoń-Domińczak, SGH Warsaw School of Economics 

Work

  The challenges posed by population ageing to labour markets cannot be solved by immigration nor by job-automating technology alone

             Emily Barker and Jakub Bijak, University of Southampton 

Pensions

  Reforms of pension systems must account for the fact that people age unequally

             Alexia Fürnkranz-Prskawetz, Miguel Sánchez-Romero, and David Zettler, TU Vienna 

A Europe for all ages 

  Outcomes of the FutuRes civic engagement process 

             Vera Hörmann, AGE Platform Europe
