Das Altern der belgischen Bevölkerung wird sich in den nächsten 10 Jahren beschleunigen

Goed dat de politiek ons welvaartsysteem de afgelopen 20 jaar hierop voorbereid heeft

>Because the more your population consists of the elderly, the less younger people are there to be able to bear those pensions and health costs.

The regular neo-liberal mantra that pension and health costs are supported ONLY on the number of young people.

Do you picture that sci-fi future in which nobody works and all is done by robots? You thought that it was progress or an advanced society? wow! no no no! That is a doomed society! they won’t be able to pay pensions! who would bear the costs of pensions with almost zero working people?? /s

>A new analysis of the population prospects by Statbel and the Planning Bureau **shows that that problem will not solve itself in the short term**. On the contrary: in the coming 10 years the aging population seems to have found an extra acceleration.

From the creators of „the big problem of immigration“, now we present… „the big problem of we are living longer!“ soon at your cinemas!

And what about mixing both „hits“. „The problem of ageing SOLVED by migration“. Oh, no, sorry, we can´t bring young migrants to a country with old population because… because… because… migration is a problem!

Meanwhile, reality is that all scientific studies state that ageing will only increase the costs of pension in 1 or 2% of GDP, which is totally sustainable. But hey, do not allow that reality spoil the false mantra…

Dat komt ervan van mensen te dwingen om te stoppen met roken.
