La Unión Europea enfrenta un desafío estructural clave: gestionar un cambio demográfico profundo en un contexto de creciente polarización política en torno a la migración.

Why was the cohort set up? Declines in different causes of mortality have been notable over the last few decades, resulting in unprecedented increases in longevity worldwide [1, 2].
