This is indeed a MASSIVE problem, the pension system, the fact that there is more and more retired to the number of those, who are in productive age, not to mention the productivity itself, that is, especially in certain countries very, very questionable.
Those who are in productive age are then not pushed to create any values on their own/ enterpreneurship / responsibility for your own being, these things that could bring more job opportunities and are in general extremely important for any healthy economy.
These are things that are out of fashion for the most already, in many cases they are even rather manipulated to choose a socially accepted / subsided job without a real value for one of the huge multinational corporations that are a world on its own, looking for qualified, but cheap and definitely not independent workforce.
I've witnessed this at the university - 95 pct. of students claimed after two years that they want to work for one of the multinational companies instead of pursuing their own plans or business.
Congrats for creating qualified monkies that will never ever bring any real value on the table!
And then, many even stay voluntarily unemployed, working is not always in fashion while you can get a nice chunk of government money for NOTHING.
Add hardly controlled immigration of very, very poor quality human potential / especially those who are already minorities in the eastern and third world countries, with no qualification, no potential and many times very, very complicated approach to the western culture, law and order.
There will always be more idealistic liberals and humanists in Brussels than people who could count or who would have touch with reality.
