Traduction de «Accroissement réel de la population » (Français → Anglais) :

In order to minimise the public health consequences of cross-border threats to health as set out in Decision No 1082/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council , which could range from mass contamination caused by chemical incidents to pandemics, like those unleashed recently by E. coli, influenza strain H1N1 or SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), or health effects resulting from increasing population movements, the Programme should contribute to the creation and maintenance of robust mechanisms and tools to detect, assess and manage major cross-border health threats.

Net migration has exceeded natural population increase (the difference between births and deaths) since 1992 and now accounts for two-thirds of Europe's population growth.

In contrast to Europe, many parts of the world see high rates of economic growth combined with rapid rise in their population.

In those regions lagging behind, improving employment performance will be largely dependent on how well they will be able to maximise their potential labour resources and also in their ability to attract new human capital. In the low employment growth regions, the working age population contracted at about 0.2% a year over 1996-2000, whereas in the high growth regions the population increased at an annual rate of 0.5%. These dynamics are also reflected in an increase in the average skills which has been more rapid for those regions where employment and population growth have been comparatively higher. In 2000, more than half of the worki ...[+++]ng-age population in the low employment regions are low-skilled, compared to less than a quarter in the high employment regions.

Realising a genuine and sustained increase in investment in human resources requires action from all relevant actors, i.e. from individuals, enterprises, social partners and public authorities.

Enlargement will not ease, but rather enhance this trend: all accession countries except Cyprus have birth rates below the EU level and in all but three the natural increase of the population is negative [26].
