Abstract:	This study aims to tackle the potential effects of population ageing on regional growth dynamics in the EU. We collected information at a NUTS2 level for EU countries from the years 2000 to 2020 to understand the extent to which the ageing of EU society might impact the EU convergence process. Our results emphasize that the ageing of EU society does not seem to harm the possibility of regional economic growth if we think that immigrants can fill openings in local labour markets (left by retired persons), as well as new jobs stemming from new services needed by retired persons (mostly in health and daily care). Our outcomes also stress the relevance of considering the spatial dimension of the analysis to detect the place-based dimension of this dynamic and, hence, the need for tailored policies.
