Based on this dialogue, and through a number of sub-projects, the project will help prepare local authorities and municipalities, and offer concrete tools to help meet common challenges faced by all partner regions. A focus will be placed on areas such as staff recruitment and development, technical support, organisational systems, and the consequences of a growing number of over 65s coupled with a corresponding fall in birth rates (meaning fewer young people to support those in retirement). This project aims not only to improve care for the elderly in northern areas, but also to enhance the competitive edge of these sparsely populated regions, in order to attract more inward investment. An important element of the project is the issue of care for the elderly in extreme rural areas, and through this dialogue it is hoped that a reasonable standard of social welfare can be achieved irrespective of population density.
