The sustainability of the European model has become more uncertain. Low growth rates and high unemployment rates have strained public finances, which is incompatible with the fiscal rectitude required by a growing Trends in demography, technology, and globalisation; and the inability to establish a new social contract have prevented Europe from preserving the unprecedented growth achieved during the trente glorieuses — the thirty years between 1945 and 1975. These trends are expected to increase the demands for social protection, further threatening the sustainability of the European model.
