Analytical pillar Policy pillar
Use internationally comparable data and
complementary sources for selected countries to
disentangle the drivers of demographic change and
produce indicators relevant for shrinking regions
Analyse shrinking adaptation plans and the
coherence of spatial planning frameworks for
shrinking, as well as the relationship between
demographic change and fiscal sustainability in
regions and local governments
Technical paper on demographic scenarios
Data and indicators on:
1) Drivers of population shrinking
2) Adaptation to a new population scale;
