Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Economics -
Macro-economics, general, grade: 1,0, Berlin School of Economics,
course: Arbeitsmarkte und Sozialstaat in Europa, language: English,
abstract: Though EU commissar pidla speaks, in 2006, about a
"demographic time bomb" which needs to be disarmed1, a study
suggests that back in 2003 52 percent of the German population has
not even heard about the term "demographic change." Even if these

these aggregated figures do not show that these developments have

economic prospects as a whole. This paper will analyze demographic
