Europe's youth and the European Parliament

Europe, now has more older people, than young people. Life expectancy has increased and birth rates have declined. Pensions and long-term care cost will stretch Europe’s economies. The financial burden of an ageing population will be carried by young Europeans. But are they equipped for the future? What can the European Parliament do to help?

We spoke with young Europeans, asking them to explain the challenges they see for young people in Europe, and what the European Parliament can do to help.

Your main concern is the 'perception' of the European project? Why not be honest? The problem is the EU itself. The migration crisis wouldn't have happened on such a scale were it not for Schengen. The EU-Turkey deal is disgusting. Your Free Movement of Europeans policy is protectionist and discriminatory towards non-EEA citizens. The ECJ has started to recognise the problems with 'Social Europe' with its judgments in Dano and Alimanovic, it's time you EU propagandists started doing the same.
