The European Centre produced in collaboration with the Central European University two special-edition policy briefs related to population ageing. The first policy brief analyses the current limitations in ageing-related health, labour market and gender policies in Hungary, Estonia, Germany and the Netherlands. The second brief synthesis challenges around long-term care provision related to population ageing to activate solutions in the area. The discussion in the briefs also sheds some light on the potential impact of relevant policies and presents context-specific policy recommendations.
