This report examines how migration will shape the region’s demographic and socio-economic future by 2035 under two trajectories: EU Integration, marked by institutional strengthening and circular mobility, and Strategic Isolation, characterised by governance stagnation and one-way outflows....

Demographic change has profoundly influenced economic and societal developments in industrialised nations, driven by declining fertility, rising life expectancy, and migration dynamics. While national trends are well-documented, regional demographic variations remain underexplored, particularly...

This paper examines how stable national disposable income inequality can coexist with substantial local reconfiguration in spatial inequality within a small, open, and highly integrated economy. Focusing on Luxembourg, where strong commuting flows and a nationally uniform tax-benefit system...

This paper examines the role of "healthy aging" in boosting labor supply in Korea. First, we use microdata from surveys to assess whether there is evidence that the physical abilities of individuals aged 50 years and above have been improving over successive cohorts. Second, we investigate...

Demographic change is one of Germany's most pressing social and economic challenges. Using data from a representative telephone survey, we analyze how well informed respondents are about the magnitude of demographic change and what factors influence the accuracy of their beliefs. We find that...

Unter den Lebensformen in Deutschland zeigt die Gruppe der Alleinstehenden in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten einen deutlichen Zuwachs. Dabei nehmen sowohl die absolute Anzahl Alleinstehender als auch der Anteil der Alleinstehenden zu gegenüber dem Anteil der Menschen, die in einer Partnerschaft...

Dieses Arbeitspapier beschäftigt sich mit den Auswirkungen des demografischen Wandels auf den Bedarf an Wohn- und Sozialimmobilien am Beispiel der Hansestadt Hamburg. Als zweitgrößte Stadt Deutschlands und bedeutendes urbanes Zentrum eignet sich Hamburg in besonderer Weise für die Analyse...

Mit dem Eintritt der Babyboomer in den Ruhestand gerät das umlagefinanzierte Rentensystem in Deutschland zunehmend unter Druck. Einschlägige Stellschrauben - insbesondere höhere Beitragssätze oder ein sinkendes Rentenniveau - führen zu einem Spannungsverhältnis zwischen den Generationen:...

Der grenzüberschreitende Arbeits- und Ausbildungsmarkt in der Region SaarLorLux war jahrzehntelang vor allem von wachsenden Grenzpendler:innenzahlen geprägt. Die Covid-19-Pandemie als schockartige Krise und der demographische Wandel als strukturelle Krise bringen nun zunehmend negative Aspekte...

Using a standard macro model with overlapping generations in the manner of Blanchard–Yaari, we show that by broadening the labour supply on the extensive margin through longevity adjustment of the statutory retirement age, labour supply is likely to decrease on the intensive margin. However,...

As the baby boomer generation enters retirement, the payas-you-go pension system in Germany is under an increasing amount of pressure. Relevant changes, in particular higher contribution rates or lower pension levels, are causing tension between generations: Either the financial burden on the...

Wie sich die Platzbedarfe in Kitas und Schulen entwickeln, hängt vorwiegend von der demografischen Ausgangslage in den Regionen ab. Diese wird wiederum maßgeblich vom Verlauf der Geburtenzahlen bestimmt. Hier unterscheiden sich die ehemaligen beiden deutschen Staaten auch mehr als drei...

The optimal capital income tax rate has been shown to be nonzero in overlapping generations (OLG) models, as it helps redistribute income between cohorts and individuals with different labor supply elasticities and individual productivities. We show in a medium-scale OLG model that the optimal...

Demographic developments mean that a growing proportion of employees in public administration belong to the group of older employees. This qualitative study examines how managers can design their strategies to meet their specific needs - with the aim of promoting motivation, employability and...

Fertility rates have declined dramatically across almost all highincome countries over the past decades. This has raised concerns about future economic prospects. Indeed, fully- and semi-endogenous growth models imply that a shrinking workforce would lead to declining income growth and perhaps...

Demographic ageing and increasing life expectancy require sociology to recognize and address new but also persistent challenges. The sociology of age and ageing is essential for understanding contemporary societies because age is a fundamental marker of social difference that structures roles,...

The impact of demographic decline on the allocation of policy instruments and public funding across territories has received limited attention. This study therefore identifies the key variables that influence the uptake of EU policies to clarify the conditions that may hinder the participation...

Background: Many refugees arrived in Germany in 2015 and 2016. At the same time, anti-refugee attitudes among Germans increased. This indicates an association between immigration and attitudes. Now, ten years later, renewed public concern about immigration - while not many immigrate to Germany -...

Die vorliegende Studie untersucht den Einfluss des demografischen Wandels auf den Staatshaushalt Österreichs unter Berücksichtigung der aktuellen gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen. Mit der Alterung geburtenstarker Kohorten nimmt die Inanspruchnahme von Gesundheits- und Pflegeleistungen zu. Ihr...

This is a replication study of Cook et al.(2023), a paper that investigates the determinants of access to nondiscriminatory public accommodations for African-Americans before the 1964 Civil Rights Act. They utilize the Negro Motorist Green Books and World War II casualty data to examine the...
