Abstract

Changes in the process of European recovery of generations has led to the emergence of a new population order on the continent known as the “New Demography of Europe”. This has permanently redefined different conditions for the development of the continent. Understanding the nature of these changes is reflected in discussion on how to change and adjust the economy and institutions of European countries. The main subject of this discussion is the reorientation of the approach to the constructive response to demographic change in Europe [EC, 2006]. This is preceded by a short description of the basics of conversion of Europe's demography.
