Health as an important factor in the competitiveness of regional and national economies „The population of western Europe is aging steadily, and the region`s birthrate is well below the replacement level, but Europe`s elderly are exceptionally healthy. That means they could be more productive for longer than their predecessors were. If western Europe governments learn to tap this potential, healthy aging could become the region`s next great economic asset.“ Source: Foreign Affairs (86) 55 – 68, 2007 Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs
