Demographic change in European Regions

Declining, Ageing and Regional Transformation (DART) are challenges for many regions across Europe. For this reason 13 regions – all affected by declining and ageing – are co-operating to benchmark, identify and transfer appropriate solutions for dealing with demographic change.

DART will define new common indicators for measuring decline and other symptoms of demographic change in European regions. These indicators will allow a comparison of data to be made between different regions.

DART will identify good practices which strengthen the economy and which concern educational as well as health care and social services in each region. It is envisaged that the best of these practices will be transferred to other regions.

DART will make political recommendations to regional and European stakeholders and raise public and political awareness with regard to declining and ageing regions.

The project will end in 2012.
