Abstract
Scientific concerns about the causes of demographic change – fertility, mortality, and migration – have a long history in Europe.1 Recently, the number of studies and publications on demographic change and its repercussions has been increasing. Academies, foundations, and associations have been giving more and more attention to the issue. They have organised conferences, prepared position papers, and drawn up recommendations for stakeholders; for example in Germany the Bertelsmann and the Schader Foundations.
