The video summary of the Nordic-Baltic migration and demographic challenges conference which was held in Tallinn, Estonia in March and which gained a lot of media and public attention is available on our Youtube channel.

"Migration and the movement of labour are contributing to the development of and cooperation between the Nordic countries and the Baltic States," says Berth Sundström, Director of the Nordic Council of Ministers' Office in Estonia. "This is very much a positive thing, but you have to recognise that if the movement is mostly in one direction, there's the risk of a brain drain which could lead to long-term social and economic instability in the region. Not to mention the aging population and the impact of the financial crisis. The Nordic-Baltic region is so tightly connected that we can't afford to ignore these threats. That's why we've decided to initiate a project on migration and demographic challenges in the region."
