NORA conference on the demographic challenges of the North Atlantic
Date: Oct 20, 2009 to Oct 21, 2009
Many young people are moving away. Only a few newcomers move to the region - and many of them leave again. This trend is a cause of concern in large parts of the North Atlantic region. In October the Nordic Atlantic Co-operation will host a conference 'Challenged by Demography' to shed light on the nature and magnitude of the problem – and contribute to the development of a strategy on how the North Atlantic region should deal with its particular demographic challenges.
