From retirement age(s) to who controls wealth, from attitudes towards entrepreneurial activity, Europe is a mixed bag. All layered on getting older every day.
What happens when older voters dominate European electorates"
"Today Europe again faces rule by the elderly. Not because its leaders are all ancient: modern politicians tend to flaunt pregnant wives and school-age children, and disport themselves in cycling shorts and running kit. Now it is the voters who have aged. By 2050, more than a third of potential European Union voters will be over 65. And because older voters turn out more reliably than the young, they could wield crushing power."
