Descrizione 

The so-call demographic transition is a major change that is already affecting European societies. While the issue is not always seen as a key topic in policymakers’ agenda, it is gaining salience between practitioners and stakeholders at supranational (EU and international), national and local levels. Population ageing, lowering fertility and changes in the relations between genders and age groups are shaking labour markets and social institutions.

The stream welcomes contributions from different disciplines (sociology, political science, law, economics) to shed light on both policy challenges that are increasingly evident in Italy and elsewhere as well as the policy measures proposed at different levels. The interest is about reforms and debates in different policies: pensions, labour market policy (both passive and active), healthcare, LTC, and social inclusion. In line with the most recent discourses proposed at the international level, further policy fields of interest are represented by family policies, migration policy and youth policy. Contributions may also focus on the complex interaction between the three major transitions (ecological, technological and demographic) and the way they may represent the opportunity for synergies and innovative solutions (application of digital, robotics and domotics to social and health services, application of AI and automation in manufacturing, etc.).  

The stream aims at collecting empirical evidence on policy processes (decision-making in the legislative arena, social dialogue – e.g. collective bargaining; implementation of policy measures – e.g. in the context of ambitious policy programmes like the Recovery and Resilience Plans in the EU member states) as well as on policy output and outcomes. The latter has also to do with inequalities in ageing societies.
