Rapid labour force expansion is boosting euro area GDP as older and migrant workers decide to clock in.

But these gains can’t last forever – population ageing will take a toll.

Tech uptake and steady migration can support continued growth.

The silver workforce is having a golden impact: older workers have been a key driver of euro area employment growth in recent years, largely because they’re retiring later.

Looking ahead, retirement ages are set to rise further, our #EconomicBulletin finds https://t.co/6aLT0ymwUk

Services are playing a growing role in global trade. The ECB Blog shows that this trend is driven by declining non-tariff trade barriers. As the euro area is highly competitive in services, it has benefitted more than other regions.

Der günstigste Weg zu mehr Sicherheit in Europa: die Ukraine so unterstützen, dass sie Russland zurückschlägt.
Der teuerste Weg: zusehen, wie Russland in der Ukraine triumphiert und dann ein stärkeres Russland abschrecken müssen.

Production and exports of the automotive industry in the euro area have shrunk by about 20% since 2018. Read in this #EconomicBulletin why we think the industry will recover in the medium run https://t.co/mI8rcRep5J

Since I just read another post on Twitter by a woman who lost her pregnancy in the first trimester and is wondering what she did wrong:

It is important for everyone to know that about 1/3 of all pregnancies end in the first trimester, for chromosomal reasons in the fetus.

1/3

Sehenswerte und frustrierende @ZDF Dokumentation zum Thema Machtmissbrauch a den (🇩🇪) Hochschulen. Das System versagt zT gewaltig, indem es junge WissenschaftlerInnen ausliefert und offenbar so gut wie keine Sanktionsmoeglichkeiten gegenüber Tätern kennt.

More on #EJMR in Business Insider. Note: university leadership - (and NOT @florianederer and co!!)- will need to decide how to investigate hate speech coming from inside their own offices. Doing nothing is not an option. https://t.co/lxjPMGRKse

#MichelFriedman missbraucht die Sendung zur Selbstdarstellung.
#Lanz ist als Moderator eine totale Fehlbesetzung.
Wie gut, dass jetzt 4 Wochen lang Sommerpause ist.
Danke #TheodorSchnarr für deine Geduld zw. diesen Nasen.

Great thread 🧵 on how 🇨🇳 is becoming the world leader in renewable energy. Less talk, more walk. Surprising data inside.

[Ulrich Speck @ulrichspeck]

Message seems to be that Germany wants more economic and technological cooperation with China, not less. More coupling, more risking. Still the old agenda driven by a number of big businesses -- not balanced by security concerns and a broader geopolitical strategy.
