Demographic Change and EU Regions
• Globalisation changes the distribution of winners and losers in all dimensions, and particularly according to the region
• Demographic change – age and mobility • Mobility and ageing are both dynamic processes • Mobility and ageing are both dynamic processes
of social and demographic change• A complex story of winner and losers – which is
becoming even more complex• International convergence and interregional
divergence

Demographic Change and EU Regions
• Access to the public services required to aid the ageing process depends on one’s place orstatus in society
• Educational status – earnings, wealth, access to • Educational status – earnings, wealth, access to both private and public care
• Social status – interpersonal networks, social capital
• Geographical status – local environment, quality and variety of local health care services
Demographic Change and EU Regions
• Education about health services and healthy lifestyles is an independent predictor of long term health
• Poverty is clear indicator of poor health, • Poverty is clear indicator of poor health, irrespective of social status
• Poverty and education are correlated• Both poverty and education are correlated with
location• Social mobility and ageing are regional problems
Demographic Change and EU Regions
• Ageing can be a positive or negative process and experience
• Leisure, recreation → high quality of life and longevitylongevity
• Poor housing, low socio-economic status environments → low quality of life and reduced longevity
• Spatial differentiation in terms of quality of life, access to services, life expectancy
Demographic Change and EU Regions
• Impacts of globalisation: all societies are becoming more unequal in terms of income and wealth distribution
• All societies are becoming more unequal in • All societies are becoming more unequal in terms of the geography of wealth and income
• Rural-urban migration (CEECs; Mediterranean)• Urban-urban migration (northern and western
EU)• Urban-rural migration (high income groups)
Demographic Change and EU Regions
• Individual geographical mobility is correlated with:- human capital and skills- gender- gender- previous migration- employment opportunities- amenities (natural or urban)- personal push and pull characteristics
Demographic Change and EU Regions
• Group migration flows are correlated with:- the business cycle- the housing and real estate market- distances- distances- infrastructure- institutional variations- externality effects- public goods
Demographic Change and EU Regions
• Outbound areas with ageing populations which also have declining populations and falling incomes
• Inbound areas with ageing populations which • Inbound areas with ageing populations which are increasing in wealth and incomes
• Inbound areas with populations which are becoming more relatively youthful and which are increasing in wealth and incomes
Demographic Change and EU Regions
• Inbound areas which are becoming richer and also more spatially segregated between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have-nots’
• Outbound areas which are becoming poorer and also more spatially segregated between the also more spatially segregated between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have-nots’
• Social and industrial clustering effects – peer group effects
• Peer group effects plus increasing migration enhances social and spatial differences
Demographic Change and EU Regions
• Greater disparities between social ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ or social ‘insiders’ and ‘outsiders’
• Greater differences in terms of people’s ability to change their circumstances change their circumstances
• Greater differences in terms of people’s ability to migrate or relocate for reasons of wellbeing and quality of life
• Greater differences in terms of a community’s or a locality’s ability to provide a viable livelihood –income, social capital and participation

• Public policy for social inclusion objectives- inclusive growth agenda of Europe 2020- management of ageing is a social issue- provision and access to health, social and education services- provision and access to health, social and education services- quality and availability of services
• Stakeholder society, governance, participation• Rights, responsibilities and expectations• Implicit social contract in European societies
