Yet, our ageing society offers more opportunities than risks. The question remains whether we can take advantage of them. How can our educational systems be adapted so that people remain fit for the labour market during their entire life course? What are the socio-political consequences of life course events, such as long periods of unemployment? How can we better support people in the transition to retirement and design minimum income schemes to ensure the social participation of vulnerable population groups in old age?Slide 8:THANK YOU for YOUR ATTENTION!CBSS Secretariat, Sustainable and Prosperous Regionwww.cbss.org
