State of the Alps to be presented
03.02.2016
The Italian Ministry of Environment, in its role as Italian Delegation to the Alpine Convention, is hosting a meeting to present the Fifth Report on the State of the Alps: Demographic changes in the Alps: population, employment, education and services on 10 February in Brussels, Belgium.
The report focuses on the demographic changes in the alpine region, and was published in the framework of the activities of the Italian Presidency of the Alpine Convention 2013-2014 and officially approved by the XIII Alpine Conference in Turin, Italy (21 November 2014).
The report conveys the demographic changes that have taken place in the Alps by analysing data and indicators of the population’s moves in the region, also taking into account some indicators on the labour market and services as the important drivers for demographic change. Thanks to the comparison with some previous indicators’ values and with data collected by the Working Group Demography and Employment of the Alpine Convention since 2009, the contents of the report highlight the main current trends. The collected data are from the official statistics of the Alpine countries, this feature, along with the harmonization of data with respect to the degree of territorial detail and the definitions used for the various indicators, gives high authority to the report’s results.
The meeting will be held in Italian and English.
