Paragraph
Paragraph text
In line with these demographic changes, the European work force is declining. In 2010, for the first time, more workers were retiring from the European labour market than were joining it. The European Union and OECD are predicting that, with a zero net increase in migration, the working age population will drop by 3.5 per cent by 2020. Over the next 50 years, the working-age population is expected to decline by nearly 42 million.
