In Germany, fewer and fewer babies are being born, and the population is aging and becoming more diverse, as it continues to shrink - developments that are impacting all areas of life. Our projects on demographic change take a holistic approach as a result. We assess the current situation, develop new approaches to reform, test and disseminate strategic solutions and advocate for new possibilities in the policymaking sphere.

Forum Demographic Change

In Germany, fewer and fewer children are being born. At the same time, as its population decreases, the country is growing older and more diverse. Together with the Bertelsmann Stiftung, German President Horst Köhler has initiated a series of conferences and colloquia to examine the impact demographic change is having on German society and the country's communal life.
