“…First, in 2004 the European Union experienced the biggest ever enlargement in its history. This major reshaping European political landscape notably affected intra‐European migration flows (Bosker ; Crespo Cuaresma et al , ). Second, Europe was heavily stricken by the economic crisis of 2008–09 (Crespo Cuaresma et al ; Percoco ).…”

European regions experience accelerating ageing, but the process has substantial regional variation. This paper examines the effect of this variation on regional economic cohesion in Europe. We measure the effect of convergence or divergence in the share of the working age population on convergence or divergence in economies of NUTS 2 regions. The effect of convergence or divergence in ageing on economic convergence or divergence is quite substantial and, in some cases, is bigger than the effect of changes in productivity and labour force participation. Convergence of ageing leads to economic convergence only when the share of the working age population in rich regions exceeds that in poor regions and the former regions experience a substantial decline in the share of the working age population, or the latter regions experience an increase. During 2003-12, an inverse relationship between convergence in ageing and economic convergence was the rule rather than the exception.

“…Interestingly, it was partially leveled by reversals of migration flows after the economic crisis of 2008 (Crespo Cuaresma et al, 2015;Wilson et al, 2013). Northern and Western Europe experienced a rise of in-migration at working ages, while less economically competitive regions of Eastern and Southern Europe experienced a drop of in-migration or even net out-migration at working ages.…”

One mega challenge for the next decades is the aging of populations in western societies. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) Technologies provide solutions for these challenges of demographic change. Elderly people living independently in their homes can be monitored for health reasons with integrated information and communication technologies (ICT) to get help in case of emergencies. From the user-centered approach, acceptance of these solutions is crucial. In his work, we focus on the effects of 5 domestic spaces and 3 integrated ICT on acceptance and the influence of user factors. We consider two samples from 2010 (n = 100) and 2015 (n = 148). Results show that visual monitoring is accepted least, positioning best. The role of private and public rooms has a strong influence on acceptance. Also, the type of technology as well as the interaction of technology and room have a strong impact, whereas user factors play only a minor role for AAL acceptance.
