Today is 9 May 2013. If we look 30 years ahead, on 30 May 2030, the world will look quite dierent. at is only 17 years away but many things – predictable and unpredictable - will have changed. But we can also be sure that other things will not have changed. We will still want to live in a prosperous and peaceful Europe; we would also want this for our children and grandchildren. We would like to have a good doctor if we need one and we would want our children and grandchildren to have access to education and a decent job. at is what I want for my children. But we cannot take this for granted with the crisis. We are going through a very severe crisis and it will take time before we get our economy back on track. By 2030, we will also be much older. ere will be very little indigenous population growth in some countries and the population in working age in some countries will have shrunk. How can we respond to this? Let me give you some reections.
