🔝 Today is the day: the European Day of Demography! 🔵 Demography matters. Evidence on population developments is required for political, social and business planning and decision-making at the European, national and regional levels. 🔵 Demography has a long tradition of data collection, evaluation and analysis: On 4 February 1662, John Graunt completed the first such study, marking the inception of the scientific disciplines of demography and epidemiology. 🔝 Let's talk. About how generations will live together. In the future. This year's topic: Sharing financial and non-monetary resources (e.g. care time) between and within generations can foster a sense of solidarity, social cohesion and resilience. But are these resources distributed fairly? 🔜 Join us online today to discuss one of the most urgent issues in recent policies with eminent experts. 📅 Wednesday, 4 February 2026, 13.00 - 14.30 (CET). 🖋️ You can register here: https://lnkd.in/dptWDRxV 📰 Read our new discussion paper (in German; the authors will conclude and discuss their findings during the event) 💾 https://lnkd.in/d9WySyga We would like to thank the following experts for their valuable contributions to the event and paper: Matthias Albert (Universität Bielefeld) | Bernhard Binder-Hammer (Vienna Institute of Demography (VID)) | Claudia Diehl (Universität Konstanz) | Jane Falkingham (ESRC Centre for Population Change and Connecting Generations | Alexia Fürnkranz-Prskawetz (Technische Universität Wien) | Denis Gerstorf (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) | Karsten Hank (Universität zu Köln) | Klaus Hurrelmann (Hertie School) | Pauline Kleinschlömer (Bundesinstitut für Bevölkerungsforschung – BiB) | C.

Today we honor the experience, wisdom, and voices of our elders. This year’s theme, “Empowering Elderly Voices for an Inclusive Future,” reminds us to listen, include, and create opportunities so older adults can shape family, community, and public life.

Senior Citizens Day honors the lifetime contributions and wisdom of older adults while shining a light on urgent challenges they face, like isolation, limited healthcare access, and ageism. The 2025 theme, “Empowering Elderly Voices for an Inclusive Future,” calls for listening to seniors, removing barriers to participation, and making homes, services, and public spaces truly age‑friendly. Centering elder perspectives strengthens families, communities, and public policy, and prepares society for a rapidly aging world where dignity and inclusion are essential.
