"Despite all remaining political, economical and cultural differences in the member countries of the European Union...population ageing is a common phenomena of all these countries.... Many spheres of socio-economic life in the countries of the European Union are already affected by this shifting process.... Most of the social security and welfare systems of the industrialized countries in the European Union are mainly based on intergenerational solidarity, a solidarity which is highly burdened by the demographic development. In this respect policy makers have to take into consideration the expected changes in the age structure of the economically active population, changing patterns of labour force participation as well as changes in family and household structures in their task to modify existing systems or to build new systems of social security and welfare under the growing burden of an ageing society." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
尽管欧盟成员国在政治、经济和文化方面仍存在差异……人口老龄化是所有这些国家的普遍现象……欧盟国家社会经济生活的许多领域已经受到这一转变过程的影响……欧盟工业化国家的大多数社会保障和福利体系主要基于代际团结，而这种团结正受到人口发展的沉重负担。在这方面，政策制定者在修改现有体系或在老龄化社会日益加重的负担下建立新的社会保障和福利体系的任务中，必须考虑到经济活跃人口年龄结构的预期变化、劳动力参与模式的变化以及家庭和家庭结构的变化。（英文摘要）
