Understanding Europe's changing populations

The Atlas of Demography knowledge platform brings together reliable resources, information and data from trusted sources to provide clear, accessible overviews of Europe’s demographic changes. It helps policymakers and citizens understand demographic trends in the context of various topics, such as health, labour and migration. Scroll down to explore our interactive stories with demographic data by topic.

The Atlas is a key component of the European Commission’s Demography Toolbox, designed to help policymakers develop coordinated, evidence-informed responses to Europe’s shifting population patterns. 

A new, updated version of the Atlas will be launched in 2026, with enhanced features and increased facilitation of knowledge exchange. During the redevelopment phase some of our content may be temporarily unavailable.
