⚖️ Migration is one factor shaping Europe’s future. Employment rates, pension reform & healthcare capacity also matter. Some rural areas face depopulation, but newcomer resettlement projects show potential to revitalize communities.

💸 Tax burdens are rising as pension & elderly care costs grow. These demographic trends will put greater fiscal pressure on governments & societies in decades ahead.

📉 Low birth rates drive native population decline. Without migration, the EU population could fall from 447M today to ~295M by 2100. The share of 65+ could rise from 21% to 36%, increasing care burdens & government spending.

🌍 Europe faces a major demographic challenge. By 2100, the 🇪🇺’s population may shrink 6% with migration, but over 1/3 without it. Countries like Italy, Germany & France could face economic pressures from ageing populations & shrinking workforces.

The "Right to Try" is the law and shouldn't be a partisan, de-regulatory issue. Experts and regulators should consider if it's doing our patients justice or not.

Sad but unsurprising:
"US states that implemented abortion bans saw higher than expected infant mortality rates, with larger increases among Black infants and those in southern states, according to this analysis of US national vital statistics data from 2012–2023."
