On Thursday 16 April, Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Governance of Migration and Diversity is organising an open guest seminar with Richard van Zwol: “Behind the Scenes: the State Commission on Demographic Developments and its role on the political stage”.
State Commission on Demographic Developments 2050
At the request of the House of Representatives, the 2050 State Commission on Demographic Developments was established in 2022. This commission was tasked with advising on what the Netherlands can do in response to significant demographic changes, such as an ageing population and migration. In doing so, the commission was required to examine the consequences of these changes up to at least 2050. It was also required to take the broad approach to prosperity into account.
Van Zwol chaired this state commission and will discuss, during the seminar, both the commission’s findings and how the commission went about its work, as well as the role it has played on the political stage.
