Aging of Europe

Aging is what happens when people in a region or country get older and older. In Europe, this is happening because more people are living longer and fewer people are being born, which means that the population of Europe is getting older as a whole. This can cause some challenges, such as fewer people of working age to contribute to the economy and to take care of the elderly population, which can put a strain on the government finances.
