    The EESC adopted this opinion after in-depth work carried out during the four meetings of the study group. The opinion also reflects the national debates with civil society organisations carried out in all Member States between 2 September and 2 November 2016. These discussions were coordinated by three members of the EESC ('trios') from the country concerned, often in cooperation with the European Commission (15 debates) or the national economic and social council (7 debates). Participants came from a wide range of employers' and trade union organisations and other civil society organisations, as well as, to a lesser extent, from the academic world. A total of 116 EESC members and nearly 1,800 representatives of civil society organisations participated in the 28 debates. The conclusions/recommendations of the national debates have been grouped in the opinion, while the reports on the national debates will be published separately.

    This exploratory opinion responds to a request made by the Polish Presidency. One of the key messages is that the number of high quality jobs needs to be increased. If we succeed to use the untapped employment reserves in all age brackets, many other issues - for instance the long term funding of the pension systems - will be solved. If the real retirement age is to be raised then it is necessary to ensure that people can work longer. The opinion lists a package of measures to make working conditions favourable for older people.

    EESC opinion: The impact of population ageing on health and welfare systems
  • En torno al 42 % de la población europea de edad avanzada afirma que la discriminación por razón de la edad es un fenómeno muy extendido en sus países y que alcanza su punto álgido en el lugar de trabajo. La proporción de personas mayores de sesenta y cinco años aumentará constantemente en las próximas décadas, por lo que en la UE urge adoptar una estrategia global que suponga un cambio radical, tanto en el ámbito de las políticas como en la manera en que la sociedad percibe a las personas mayores

    En un debate en el pleno con la vicepresidenta de la Comisión, Dubravka Šuica, el CESE pidió a la Comisión que presente una nueva Estrategia sobre personas mayores antes de que finalice el mandato actual.

  • El Comité Económico y Social Europeo considera que envejecer dignamente debe convertirse en un derecho fundamental. Los europeos viven más tiempo, lo que es una buena noticia.  Pero el envejecimiento conlleva nuevos retos sociales, económicos y sanitarios que afectan a las personas mayores y a sus familias y sociedades. En opinión del CESE, durante demasiado tiempo se ha descuidado este tema y no se han anticipado las crecientes necesidades de las personas mayores.En su Dictamen, el Comité destaca el enorme potencial que representan las personas mayores para la creación de nuevos empleos y el progreso tecnológico.

    The European economy loses over 2% of productivity per year due to a mismatch of skills, according to a recent study commissioned by the European Economic and Social Committee. This means a loss of 80 eurocents for each hour of work. The situation will get even worse in the future due to demographic trends and ongoing technological developments, if no reforms are undertaken.
