Compared to other world regions, Europe is by far the oldest. Moreover, aging is set to accelerate further over the next decades. The objective of this report is to investigate what stands in the way of reaping the full benefits of increased longevity in the region - that is, longer lives and potentially prolonged payoffs from human capital and what can help to contain the possible negative impacts of decreased growth and the fiscal fallout from the demographic overhang.
