Demographic Statements

Demographics Statement 1

Ageing will affect mobility through its impact on the labour market.
In view of the contemporary ageing trends we can expect a higher rate of persons aged 60+ to remain active in the labour market.
Assuming that
a) labour market demand grows in the future and
b) technological developments are not such that this increase in labour supply can be absorbed by teleworking thus having a neutral impact on mobility
we can expect ageing to generate a higher transport demand for daily passenger transport.

Demographics Statement 2

Ageing will affect the transport system through its impact on the structure and patterns of leisure activities.
Contemporary older cohorts are more interested in travelling in their leisure time.
In view of the current ageing trends, this will result in an increase of demand for collective forms of transport on road and air.

No	4,1

Demographics Statement 3

Migration affects the transport system through its influence of seasonal mobility patterns between the countries of origin and the countries of destination.
Within the enlarged European Union we can expect an increase of the seasonal significance of some routes for passenger traffic, especially along the East-West corridors.

1. Do you agree that migration affects the transport system through its influence of seasonal mobility patterns? (%)

Yes	92,7
No	7,3
N valid	41

Demographics Statement 4

Restrictive migration policies vis-à-vis non-EU countries will result in an increase of controls at the external borders of the Union in the East.
This is expected to create new bottlenecks for freight transport in and out of the new European Union borders.
This will lead to a increase in travel times and thus a decrease of transport efficiency

1. Do you agree that migration policies affect the transport system through their influence on border controls? (%)

Yes	76,1
