Session
2025 - First part-session

Summary

The Parliamentary Assembly's Resolution 2586 emphasizes the critical role of immigration in addressing Europe's demographic ageing. With a significant increase in the global refugee population, the Assembly highlights the need for European countries to adopt effective integration policies that support both migrants and the elderly. It calls for a cultural shift towards a "longevity society" that promotes healthy ageing and social cohesion, while also urging member States to implement comprehensive measures to facilitate the integration of newcomers. This includes establishing a new social contract, enhancing education and recognition of skills, and fostering intergenerational cooperation. The resolution advocates for targeted policies to attract high-skilled migrants and improve care provision, ultimately aiming to create a more inclusive and prosperous society for all generations.
