Demography. 1. The Parties acknowledge that demographic growth and demographic shifts can have a significant impact on development gains and economic progress, and shall work together towards an integrated approach that minimises the challenges and maximises the benefits of the demographic dividend. To that end, they shall aim to establish, support, maintain and sustain structural reforms and transformations in economic and social systems to create decent education, employment and livelihood opportunities for an emerging young population.
Demography. 1. The Parties acknowledge the need to manage the opportunities and challenges of demographic change, in order to better meet the aspirations and hopes of future generations in Africa and the EU.
Demography. The total population living in the programme area is 2,789,049 inhabitants8. Rather precise and therefore by definition inaccurate, but OK.

Demography. The population of Caithness in 2018 was 25,413, with a slightly higher proportion of over 65- year-olds compared to the Highland Council area. Table SC13 demonstrates that if current trends continue, the total population is projected to decrease by 21% by 2041, with a much larger reduction seen in children and adults of working age. Older people will increasingly make up greater proportions of the population and the number of people aged over 85 years of age is projected to more than double by 2041. Table SC13: Projected change in the population of Caithness, 2016 - 2041 Caithness Highland 2016 2041 % change 2016-2041 % change 2016-2041 00-14 4,028 2,719 -32.5 -9.8 15-34 5,481 3,621 -33.9 -9.9 35-64 10,475 7,123 -32.0 -10.7 65-74 3,253 2,759 -15.2 8.0 75-84 1,937 2,807 44.9 74.8 85+ 633 1,340 111.7 140.6 total 25,807 20,367 -21.1 1.4 In 30 years, it is projected that the ratio of people of working age to those aged over 65 years will have significantly reduced. In 2018 there were 26 people of working age for every 10 people aged 65 years or older living in Caithness. By 2041 this figure will have reached a low of 15 people of working age for every 10 people aged 65 years and older. The demand for services in the area will need to be met by a declining and ageing workforce in the future.
Demography. 2.1 Doncaster is the largest Metropolitan Borough by geographical area in the country. It embraces a diverse community with Doncaster itself, smaller townships, several villages and rural areas. With the demise of traditional industries, the borough experienced considerable social and economic decline, with high unemployment. It is ranked as one of the most deprived areas in the UK and in 2015-16; 52% of students aged 16-19 studying at Doncaster College had disadvantage uplift.
Demography. 3.1 The Highlands and Islands region is no more immune to the febrile political environment than the rest of Scotland, but the economies of its more peripheral areas are fragile, and less resilient to the potentially fundamental changes which the nation will undergo. In determining current and future skills demand, the demographics of the region must be understood.
Demography. Croatia is facing a changing and particularly challenging demograp- hic profile. Projections indicate that the country is aging at one of the fastest rates in Europe. The Central Bureau of Statistics forecasts a reduction of the Croatian population by 700 thousand (-16%) by 2050. The share of older people (over 64 years) in the total populati- on could increase from 17% in 2005 to 27% in 2050, while the share of youth (15-24 years) may drop from 13 to 10%. The population of working age (15-64 years) could well fall by 780 thousand. Accordingly, if the costs of increased social security transfers and health care spending associated with an ageing population are to be met, a significant increase in the employment rate will be required. Employment and unemployment Croatias unemployment rate (according to ILO methodology) has been constantly increasing since 1996 till 2000 when it reached its peak of 16.1%. Since then, it has been decreasing and reached 11.2% in 2006. The rate remains relatively high amongst the young between godini na 4,0% BDP-a u 2005. godini. U 2006. godini fiskalni je deficit dalje pao na 3% BDP-a. Takvi se rezultati uglavnom temelje na snažnom rastu prihoda koji je rezultat energične gospodarske aktivnosti i veće učinkovitosti Porezne uprave u prikupljanju pore- za te umjerene potrošnje. Prema Smjernicama ekonomske i fiskalne politike 2008.-2010. Hrvatska Vlada u 2007. godini planira dalje smanjiti svoj fiskalni deficit na 2,6% BDP-a. Hrvatska ima nisku stopu inflacije od 1994. godine. Od tada prosječ- na godišnja inflacija, mjerena indeksom potrošačkih cijena, iznosi 3,4%. U 2006. godini prosječna je stopa inflacije iznosila 3,2%. Sto- pa inflacije bila je stabilna i relativno niska zbog aprecijacije tečaja HRK/EUR, sporog rasta nominalnih plaća, blagog porasta produk- tivnosti radne snage i intenzivne konkurencije u trgovini na malo. Nisku inflaciju podržava monetarna politika Hrvatske narodne ban- ke. Podržava ju stabilan tečaj pomoću »upravljanog plivajućeg te- čaja«. U razdoblju od 2001. – 2006. godine, fluktuacije prosječnog mjesečnog tečaja HRK/EUR kretale su se u rasponu od +/-4%. U kontekstu visokog stupnja »euroizacije« u hrvatskom financijskom sustavu, Hrvatska narodna banka nastavlja strogo upravljati tečajem HRK/EUR jer on predstavlja ključni instrument za obuzdavanje in- flacijskih očekivanja u zemlji te utječe na stabilnost uvoznih cijena iz eurozone.

Demography. Date from the draft Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) of the municipality of Quezon which based from the 2007 Census, the total population of the municipality in year 2007 reached 51,234 individuals distributed in 10,405 households which indicates 4.92 as an average household size, as shown in the table below: Table 1. 2007 population vs 2012 PCCCDRAP Count Recent unofficial data but based on the actual count done during the PCCDR assessment from April to October 2012 revealed a significant change in the population figures, as presented in the same table above which shows 18% population increase over a period of 5 years or 3.7% increase per annum which is higher than the national average of 2.3% per annum.
Demography. Demographic data and the trend of population aging must be present in the formulation of economic promotion and employment programmes. On the one hand, a moderate population growth of 2.42% since 2000, accompanied by sustained and intense population aging, marked by a percentage of people older than 65 of 20.66%. Moreover, the presence of immigrants is still fairly limited compared to the national context, making it possible, however, to offset the loss of population for vegetative reasons. However, it is necessary to plan with foresight the needs for integration and respect of the immigrant population, to ensure social cohesion in the future. Labour market As regards the labour market, this has shown continued, sustained growth in Gijón in recent years, reaching an increase in employment of 17% since the year 2000. Nevertheless, we still have much to achieve both with respect to activity and occupation rates, especially among women and young people, as also in everything concerning quality of employment, despite the temporary drop in employment of more than
Demography. Forty-four percent of the surveyed were Muslim and 56 % were Christian, which is the same proportion for religion in women of child-bearing age in Only 10 % of the surveyed were less than 34 years of age, while over 50 % were older than 45 years of age.
