ILC Europe Network 2024-29 policy priorities

Europe’s population is ageing. By 2100, nearly 1 in 3 EU citizens will be aged 65 or older.

We need to address the social, economic and health challenges associated with demographic change to create more fulfilling longer lives.

The 2024-29 EU political cycle presents an opportunity to make meaningful policy changes that helps to create an ageing society that works for everyone.

We need to take action now to ensure we can all age meaningfully for longer. We believe Member States and EU policymakers need to focus on three areas to enable longer, healthier and more prosperous lives:

1. The longevity dividend: We need to support older adults to participate in the labour market and retail economy.
2. Healthy ageing and prevention: We need to keep people living healthier for longer and prevent ill-health.
3. Stronger communities: We need to strengthen our communities and ensure they work for people of all ages.
