Demographic recovery policies adopted in the member states of the European Union

Abstract

Among the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda is Goal 3 "Health and well-being for all". Starting from this objective, the paper aims to analyze the demographic recovery policies adopted at the level of the European Union member states, taking into account the fact that at this moment, the international demographic context is marked by declining fertility, accentuated labor migration and population aging. At the same time, in recent years there has been an increased public attention to promoting active and healthy aging, friendly to the environment. One of the premises of the research is that the decision to have children is being postponed more and more. The reasons are diverse and will be explored within the research theme. On the other hand, there are couples who do not want children at all. Another premise of the research is that some member states of the European Union have managed to adopt successful policies in promoting families/couples with children.
