According to Eurostat forecasts, the European Union’s working age population will shrink by a considerable 8 million people by 2025. As a consequence the labour force is to decrease, adversely affecting future GDP growth rates. However, there are groups of people whose labour potential is not yet fully utilised, meaning that the decrease in size of the future workforce can be avoided. Employment gains due to their entry into the labour market can rebalance total employment.
