Demographic changes, especially the aging of society, and increasing variation in life patterns and (longer) working lives give reasons to develop new and more flexible and therefore sustainable forms of social protection. Globalization increases worker migration with the tendency to increase differences between high and low skilled workers.

The issues that ECORYS investigates are structural aspects such as assistance recipiency or expenditures, tailor-made solutions and best practices for families or the elderly in need of child care or long-term care. Next, it considers financial aspects of pension and benefit and care systems. Issues with regard to migration consider simulations of worker flows and the identification of possible socio-economic effects.

ECORYS provides policy oriented research and advice for governments, NGO’s, employer organizations, is specialized in simulations and benchmarking of social policies and best practices and works for large international players such as the Worldbank, the European Commission and others.
