Ageing populations and declining birth rates

David Quinn from the Iona Institute speaks to Kieran on ageing populations, and declining birthrates, with the news that the number of deaths continues to exceed the number of births across the EU. This trend has now been occurring for almost ten years, according to the latest Eurostat figures. Deaths now outnumber births by around a million. David also shares how Denmark has now raised its retirement age reflecting this.
