Avertismentul Moody’s: Din 2029 populația Europei va începe să scadă. „Cine va mai plăti pensiile?”

Moody's warns that Europe's population will peak in 2029 and then decline, leading to fewer workers and increased pension and healthcare costs. This demographic shift will pressure economic growth and government budgets, as the aging population requires more support. The ratio of working-age individuals to retirees is expected to decrease significantly by 2050, complicating economic policies. While AI may boost productivity, it cannot fully address the consumption gap created by fewer workers. Emerging economies face similar challenges but with lower income levels, making adaptation more difficult. The year 2029 marks a critical point for the EU as it navigates these demographic changes.
