Yesterday, CPC-CG member Professor Ann Berrington spoke with the Financial Times about the latest #OfficeForNationalStatistics data on #births in #England and #Wales. The data shows that, in 2025, the number of #babies born fell to the lowest level in almost half a century and continues the long-term trend of #fallingbirths going back over the past decade.

Europe’s demographic future is being decided now.

Today in Rome 🇮🇹, at the conference on #demography organised with the @europarl_en Demography Intergroup, we discussed one of the most defining challenges for Europe’s future.

Demography is not abstract. It is about whether young people can build a future, whether families feel supported, and whether generations can rely on one another.

Europe’s ageing population and low birth rates are already affecting our competitiveness, labour markets and social systems.

The EU is responding through the #DemographyToolbox, the #IntergenerationalFairnessStrategy, support to housing, skills and legal migration.

But we need to go further - with stronger coordination, better data and real implementation capacity.

That is why we are also advancing work on a European Demography Agency.

Because Europe’s resilience depends on how act today.

I typically only share Israel news if it has significant implications for the diaspora. This does. Also DellaPergola is a brilliant demographer and does super cool stuff.

"An analysis released this week predicts that, within the next 10 years, #Israel could become the home for a majority of the world’s #Jews, a change which, according to the new report, will “redefine the meaning of #Jewishpeoplehood.”

On Wednesday, the Institute for Jewish #Policy #Research (#JPR) published “The #Jewish People in 2126: #Demography, Identity, and the Future of a Global #Minority,” a 22-page paper by #SergioDellaPergola, a professor emeritus and former chairman of #HebrewUniversity’s Avraham Harman Institute of Contemporary #Jewry who now serves as the #London-based #thinktank’s president for its #European #JewishDemography Unit."
