This article looks at Eurostat’s latest population projection scenario (Europop2010) for the 27 Member States of the European Union (EU) and the EFTA countries. It focuses more particularly on population ageing, undoubtedly a key demographic challenge in many European countries over the next fifty years. Its implications for socioeconomic systems, such as public pensions programmes, health care or kinship structures, may be considerable.
Population projections are what-if scenarios that aim to provide information about the likely future size and structure of the population. The European Commission uses the results to analyse the impact of ageing populations on public spending.

The greying of the baby boomers - A century-long view of ageing in European populations
In the second half of the 20th century, the progressive decline to low levels of fertility and lower mortality rates among the elderly resulted in population ageing in Europe. Positive or negative net migration flows tended to attenuate or intensify countries’ ageing processes. In particular, in the post-World War II period, fertility increased and subsequently declined in several countries: this demographic event, labelled as the ‘baby boom’, has been a further factor in the population ageing process of the 21st century.
Population ageing from 1960 (taken as the representative year of the baby boom) to 2060 (the year by which most of the baby boomers will have died out, is here measured by four commonly used indicators: the median age, the proportion of persons aged 65 and over, the proportion of persons aged 80 and over (the ‘oldest-old’) and the old-age dependency ratio. This analysis merges estimated values from 1960 to 2010 with projected values from 2011 to 2060, taken from the Eurostat Population Projections 2010-based (Europop2010): these latter figures should not be considered as forecasts, but just as one of the possible future demographic developments. 2010 is therefore taken as the pivotal year from which we can look half a century backwards or forwards.
