National policy responses to demographic change

The project focuses on policy responses on a national level to demographic challenges in the Nordic countries.

We take a look at how the Nordic countries address their various demographic challenges by means of different policy instruments targeting different themes that are relevant from the point of view of demographic development.

The aim is to identify current relevant policies that focus on both mitigation of and adaptation to demographic change. The final outcome of the project will be published in a policy brief and presented at a common workshop hosted by the working group (more information on workshops will be available later).
