Why we do it

Labor Market Dilemmas and Demand for Innovation

The demographic shift in Europe is causing significant labor shortages due to a decrease in the working-age population. For example, Italy's working-age population (15 to 64 years old) has shrunk from 66.4% in 2000 to 57.9% in 2020, signaling a crucial labor market contraction.

Meanwhile, Europe has prioritized innovation and increased demand for experienced innovators.

Strained Public Finance

The rising proportion of elderly people increases the burden on public finances due to the higher spending on pensions, healthcare, and other age-related benefits. A case in point is Spain, where public expenditure on pensions has climbed from 11.1% of GDP in 2015 to 12.5% in 2020.

Economic and Innovation Growth Hurdles

The potential for economic growth is being impeded by a declining working-age population and fewer young people, yielding fewer critical experienced innovators in the workforce. Greece's projected GDP growth, for instance, was lowered from 1.9% to 1.1% in 2023, reflecting this reality.

Healthcare and Social Care Demand Surge

The mounting needs of an aging population can put a severe strain on existing healthcare and social services. According to estimates, Italy will require an additional 30,000 healthcare workers by 2025 to meet the increased demand.
