Did you know overeducation in the US rose in the early 2000s? 🎓📈 A study by Lina Tobler and Julia Leesch shows that between 2003 and 2011, more workers held jobs below their education level, while undereducation declined. The key driver? Shifts in supply and demand, not matching patterns. As education expanded, the labour market did not fully keep pace. 🌍💼

🌍 New research in Nature Cities uses high-resolution WorldPop data to reveal demographic changes hidden by national averages across 10,000+ cities worldwide.

The study shows how migration and natural growth shape urban populations differently, helping guide infrastructure and climate resilience investments where they're needed most. 📊🏙️

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.
