Demographic Change and its Challenges

In Europe different forms of dementia are

affecting more than 8.7 million people (1.55%

of the population). (Alzheimer Europe)

90% of older adults (65+)

want to age in their home. (Wikipedia)

It currently costs approximately

€130 billion per annum to care

for people with dementia across

Europe. (JPI on Neurogenerative Diseases)

In 2020 it is estimated that

Europe will have a

shortage of 2 million cares

in acute and long term

care. (European Commission)

There are 45 million people

worldwide living with dementia. This

number will triple by 2050 (WHO)
