By the year 2050, nearly 35% of the European population will be aged 60 and over.
The aging issue raises numerous questions. For example:
- How do we maintain a sustainable pension system?
- How do pensioners spend their money and how do they make financial decisions?
- What is the impact of aging on economics and finance in general?
