Voices for Choices – Preparing for an Ageing Europe 

January 2026

Polski /Français /Italiano /Deutsch / Dansk/ Español

In 2026, we’re continuing our work to rethink the roles and responsibilities of citizens, governments, and businesses towards one another, in an effort to redesign the “social contract” and ensure society works more fairly and more effectively for everyone.

In our latest study, Voices for Choices, we asked young people in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, and Poland to share their experiences and expectations about what they want from the future, and from those in power.

This year, we’re renewing the experience by giving 2,000 citizens aged 18–35 in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Spain the opportunity to share their opinions on issues that directly affect their lives: pensions, housing, healthcare, education, and work.

The findings from the survey will be shared early 2026 in a report, and explored further throughout the year through events, workshops, and other activities.
