Policies related to demographic change in Central Europe
Original language description
This article provides a summary of key conclusions drawn from population and policy analysis of ‘shrinking regions’ in Central Europe. The effects of demographic change such as population ageing and population shrinking will become even more relevant empirical phenomena in the next ten years, and it is necessary to have adequate strategies and policy tools prepared on how to adapt to demographic change. There will be more regions affected by population ageing and more regions affected by simultaneous population ageing and population shrinking. Demographic change is seen as a long-term process with profound consequences for local communities. Therefore, monitoring demographic changes and population development scenarios is an important tool for policy-makers at various levels of administration and governance. Good knowledge about on-going population changes is a resource for evidence based policies. A lesson learned from population development scenarios and from regions with more advanced population shrinking and ageing allows policy-makers to see or anticipate the challenges of demographic change, which will be an important issue in their region or municipality. A further mainstreaming of adaptation strategies in parallel with strategies aimed at mitigating population shrinkage is to be expected.
