Book review- Andreas Hoff, ed.:Population Ageing in Central and Eastern Europe: Societal and Policy Implications

Population ageing is one of the most significant demographic processes, with long-term consequences which are already beginning to affect many countries around the world, most noticeably in Europe. There are several definitions of population ageing. One of them refers to an increased percentage of people older than 60 or 65 in the total population. Underlying this simple definition are a large number of negative demographic, social and economic implications. Experts, the general public and the media alike are increasingly interested in the potential societal challenges related to the process of population ageing. Even so, many experts believe that this global phenomenon has not been given enough attention.
