2024 Ageing Report: Economic and Budgetary Projections for the EU Member States (2022-2070)
Selected by Stephen Watson
Public spending on pensions, health and long-term care stays near a quarter of EU GDP to 2070, so public budgets alone will not build the care capacity an older population needs.
Key figure
24.4% of EU GDP went on age-related costs in 2022, projected to reach 25.6% by 2070.
