A demographic assessment of EU remote areas by 2050
This brief, in particular, focuses on the territorial dimension of remoteness and its population, especially in rural areas. Past and future population trends, age structure, dependency ratios and gender issues in rural and remote areas versus other type of typologies (i.e. cities and towns) are analysed.
During the last decades, population living in remote areas are facing different demographic challenges such as depopulation and ageing. In many territories depopulation is caused by natural population change, negative net migration or both, while ageing is mainly due to the decline of birth rate and the raise of life expentancy: A strong relationship exists between both demographic processes that can impact on economic growth.
