Managing demographic challenges through better reconciliation of work and family life - Council Conclusions

The Council adopted conclusions on demography and reconciliation of work and family life.

The population of the EU is ageing considerably and the resulting change in the composition of the population is expected to have a great impact on the structure of Europe's social and economic life.

The conclusions aim in particular at strengthening institutional cooperation in this field and at facilitating information exchange between various bodies and initiatives at both European and national level.
