2 Comparison of the Age Pyramid Finland-Germany In Finland the number of retiring people is currently at the maximum In Germany currently the number of retiring people is at a minimum and will double the next 20 years

3 Birth Rates Europe, USA, Japan About half of the industrialized states have a demographic problem. Remedial actions now will need 25years to create effects. Most of the states with low birth rates have also economic problems. Finland/

4 Health costs in % of GDP (OECD, 2009) GDP, Germany Billions 11.6% are 415 Billions

5 Health costs versus Life Expectancy (OECD 2009) Germany 2009 around 4000$ health costs per person with 80 years life expectancy Japan, Israel und Korea are much more efficient USA is much less efficient as Germany.

8 Healthy Life Years at age 65 People in Scandinavia have less healthcare costs and stay longer in a healthy status. In Sweden healthy years after 65 ~14 In Germany only

9 What to do? In the last 30 years Information Technology was the most important driver for the boost of productivity in that period. In the healthcare system the dissemination of Information Technology drags behind other branches with about years
