The rise and fall of the Netherlands' population decline action plan
Manage episode 428002666 series 3446037
In 2009, the Netherlands implemented an innovative approach to addressing population decline with their Population Decline Action Plan. Joined by Marco Bontje (University of Amsterdam, Netherlands), we discuss how and why the policy was introduced, its evolution over a decade, and the reasons behind its termination in 2019. We'll also explore regional policies that have emerged since and what they mean for the future governance of population shrinkage in the Netherlands.
