Can Younger Generations Survive the Challenges Ahead?

"For the first time in human history, we are facing the challenge of demographic aging with the consequent epidemiological transition. This phenomenon is already widely present in all the countries considered developed and with signs evident in the others… Despite the expression of this complex phenomenon it is important to clarify that the demographic aging is, as a rule, a sign of social development. Therefore, we do not consider aging a problem in itself." – Prof. Manuel José Lopes (Universidade de Évora, Portugal)
