Abstract

UE population is undergoing an intense process of ageing because of the considerable progresses of the society and concretized in a mortality rate substantially reduced and a higher life expectancy. The average lifetime of the Union is now of 39.8 years, but according to an Eurostat estimation, in 2060 this average will grow to 47.2 years and the segment of population over 65 years will grow with approximately 2 million persons/year. Under these circumstances, the ratio between active working persons and elderly will grow from 1:2 to 1:4 from this perspective. The demographic ageing process represents, under the current context, a real challenge for labor market, for the health system and life quality after retiring. Promoting a life environment where “getting old” is not a synonym to “being dependent on the others acquires a special importance, “active ageing” becoming a reality and a necessity of these days. This study is aimed at making an analysis of the current status of the labor market and points out the necessity to reform it by implementation of the concept of active ageing, result of increasing the participation level of elderly in all the fields of activity of the society. It also points out the main measures and actions to be taken in this sense, in the near future.
