The OECD Crete Centre on Population Dynamics, in collaboration with the Delphi Economic Forum and the Municipality of Chania, was pleased to host its third annual forum on "Demography driven resilient societies: sustainable growth, social and territorial cohesion".
This year’s forum will explore how population ageing, shifting fertility patterns, increasing longevity, and uneven regional population dynamics interact in complex ways, with significant consequences for workplaces and societies.
Key topics included:
Demographic resilience and economic and social cohesion
Labour shortages, longevity readiness and technological change
The implications of population ageing and depopulation for regional cohesion
The conference will bring together international experts, policymakers, and thought leaders for two days of dialogue and high-level discussion, culminating in a roundtable on bold policy solutions for demographic challenges.
