Europas demografi ændrer sig som aldrig før. I 2050 vil næsten en tredjedel af EU's befolkning være 65 år eller derover. At EU får flere ældre vil få vidtrækkende konsekvenser på en lang række områder, f.eks. sundhedspleje, social velfærd, arbejdsmarkedet og økonomien. I EU's ældrepolitik er der fokus på flere nøgleområder: aktiv aldring, social inklusion, sundheds- og langtidspleje samt finansiel sikkerhed. Så hvad EU har brug for nu, er en omfattende strategi for ældre.

COVID-19, like previous epidemics infect and affect men, women and other genders differently. Whilst indications suggest that more men than women are dying of COVID-19, the impact of the (short and longer term) socio-economic effects of COVID-19 fall disproportionately on women. This infoclip shows different professions carried out by women who have suffered directly or indirectly from the consequences of the coronavirus epidemic: care workers, nurses, laboratory assistant, department store cashier, market gardeners, collective catering staff, staff in charge of cleaning and disinfection, teachers and a mother doing home schooling.
