Îmbătrinirea populației și influența acesteia asupra pieței muncii

Abstract

Many countries face at the moment a serious demographic problem – the increase in the number of people over 65 years old correlated with a decrease in the number of young people. The process of population ageing sets challenges to the labour market, since it shortens the number of active population and increases the dependency ratio. As a result, workforce structure is affected. Authorities introduce measures to decline the negative effects of population ageing, for instance they raise the age of retirement, or try to operate some changes in the pension system, however the society is reluctant to these changes. The process has multiple aspects to be considered and their a lot of possible effects to be put in balance.
