Bureau position paper on the green paper on demographic change
The European Youth Forum welcomes the Green Paper on demographic change issued by the Commission on March 16th 2005 as a way of deepening and widening the debate on demography. Recognising the major role that young people can play in addressing the European demographic challenge is a major step forward. Young people have indeed a lot to contribute to update and then redesign the European Social Model by taking into account the new reality of the European society: a society in which both younger and older people are in a vulnerable position and deserve special attention from policy makers.
