Dla tych co nie znaja lenglydz. Europa sie starzeje w zastraszajacym tempie.
Dzieci malo a ludzie zyja coraz dluzej. Dzis srednia wieku to 37,7 lat.
(jestem idealnie statystyczny!!!!) za 2050 bedzie to 52,3 (ja bede juz
kwiatki wachal od spodu). Najwieksze bagno w Niemczech. Tam jeden pracujacy
bedzie za 40 lat utrzymywal 1 emeryta. Dzis ma na utrzymania go w 50%. Widze
swietlana przyszlosc dla eutanazji w Niemczech. W koncu tam sie to w 1936
roku zaczelo.
Ratuje Europe immigracja. Hmmmm...
I po co ten ziomkowski szum? Przez pareset lat mielismy granice z Turcja w
Moldawii, co za problem zebysmy mieli ja na Odrze?

*************************
Because of rapidly declining birth rates, Western Europe is truly growing
old, and is actually seeing its non-immigrant population shrink. One study by
William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution in Washington,
predicts that by 2050, the median age in Europe will be 52.3 years old,
skyrocketing up from 37.7 today.
Germany, in particular, is in meltdown. According to recent reporting by the
New York Times, in 1950, 30 percent of the German population was under 20 and
only about 2 percent was over 80. By 2050, the under-20 crowd is expected to
be only 16 percent, while the over-80's will reach about 12 percent.
These demographics matter because the European pension system, like
America’s, is run on the “pay-as-you-go” principle. That means that current
workers pay the pensions of current retirees; there is no retirement savings.
The dramatic aging of Germany, for example, means the ratio of workers to
retirees will shrink from 2 to1 to just about one worker supporting one
retiree.
