The number of elderly people in the world, particularly in Europe, increases quickly.
The ageing of the population is by now an international phenomenon, with all the problems connected to this increase: healthcare system, help to the workforce, an active and prepared social system.

At least one of the two top posts in post-Lisbon Europe looks set to go to a Brit. But what effect will this have on the pro-Europeanism in the UK? Does it still exist?
Fashionable words come and go, but unfashionable ones just go. In Britain the word ‘pro-European’ – always a pariah word in the UK press and rightwing circles – shrivelled up and died a death early in this decade, with no-one but the small Liberal Democrat party to nurture it.
