🔝 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.
