Demografischen Wandel und Altern gestalten – Interdisziplinäre Impulse für einen ressortübergreifenden Ansatz (2025)

Demographic change is one of the biggest challenges facing Germany. Persistently low birth rates, combined with increasing life expectancy, are leading to a significant ageing of society. This results in a very great need for adjustment in care and health, the social security systems and the labor market. In recent years, demographic policy has been poorly coordinated and managed within the federal government. The authors of the discussion paper recommend making demographic policy a political priority for the coming legislative period. The paper formulates concrete approaches for action.
Prof. Hartmut Geiger is one of the authors of this discussion paper.
