Demography and climate change

Read and download the full report

Demography is intimately related to both climate change adaptation and mitigation. The report focuses on demography and climate mitigation through analyses of trajectories for emissions and population at global and EU levels. At the global level, the report highlights the role of population momentum.

This new Joint Research Centre (JRC) study explores the connections, opportunities and challenges of demographic and climate change.

Finding a viable path to “ageing” fertility in Europe

By Eva Beaujouan, Marie-Caroline Compans and Lukas Gutmorgeth, for the project "Later Fertility in Europe"
Since the 1970s, first births have been increasingly delayed in Europe. To complement policies that address the broader economic and social causes of delayed fertility, it is essential to raise awareness about the biological limits to late childbearing among young men and women.

Low birth rates: Ten steps towards more baby-friendly policies for 2024 and beyond

by Anna Rotkirch, Population Research Institute, Väestöliitto (The Family Federation of Finland)
Europe needs to prevent a freefall of fertility rates, as currently witnessed in many countries in East Asia. But policymakers should avoid pointless strategies like coercion to get people to have more children. Research shows that people want more kids, but Europe is simply not baby-friendly enough. Here are the cost-effective ways to fix this.

As Europe builds resilient labour markets, migration can help – but will not be enough

By Jakub Bijak and Emily Barker (University of Southampton)
Population ageing, decline of the European labour force, inequalities in economic activity between age groups and countries: all these challenges put European social systems to the test. How best to meet them? How to design resilient policy responses? Is the solution simply: more migration?

Complex migrant journeys depend on four factors: knowledge, networks, life situation – and chance

Migrant journeys are complex and can be unpredictable. Migration routes can change, sometimes rapidly. This creates challenges for policy and for computer simulations of migrant routes. Researchers have identified four crucial factors for migration modelling – and they caution against oversimplifying reality.

Lowered minimum legal drinking age associated with increased alcohol-attributable morbidity and mortality decades later

In their cohort study published in the Lancet Public Health, Juha Luukkonen et al. assessed whether being legally able to purchase alcohol at younger age was associated with later alcohol-attributable morbidity and mortality.
