• "The Demography Monitor 2008 gives a concise overview of current demographic trends and related developments in education, the labour market and retirement for the European Union and some other countries. Changes in fertility, family formation, migration and mortality are documented as well as trends in population growth and population ageing. Also the links of demographic developments with education, labour and retirement are described. The results: Modest EU population growth mainly caused by international migration, Population ageing remains the dominant demographic challenge for the EU, Population growth is unevenly distributed across Member States; the large majority of European regions experience slow or negative population growth, Fertility levels are converging in the European Union; a slight but seemingly persistent recovery of fertility can be observed, Europeans live longer; the gender gap in mortality is narrowing slowly but the East-West divide remains large, International migration is the main driver of EU population growth and stimulates population diversity, European households reflect changing life courses and population ageing, Not all Member States are confronted in the same way by population ageing, Demographic outlook for the future: a new population scenario indicates that more Member States will experience continuing population growth; population decline will be slower and later in Member States that will see their population shrink, Dejuvenation of the age structure has run its course, but the secondary and tertiary school age population will strongly decline, Decline in the working age population; larger cohorts of older workers and spectacular increase of oldest old, Population base for education becomes smaller but educational enrolment increases, Lower population pressure and more investments to further raise enrolment rates, Despite smaller working age cohorts, the labour force may continue to grow, Potential decline in the European labour force due to demographic change but changes in labour market behaviour may lead to a continuing increase of the work force; actual employment and part-time work could grow further, The age of retirement from the labour market continues to rise, More older persons are active on the labour market; higher participation means more people in jobs and not more unemployment for older workers; however, the Lisbon target has not yet been reached."
