COMECE was represented by Johannes Moravitz, Adviser on Ecology, Energy and Agriculture. In his contribution, he addressed the structural challenges in the housing sector and their impact on young couples who postpone starting a family due to high housing costs across the EU.
He also analysed the issue and presented three potential policy responses: just wages, the revitalisation of rural areas, and closer cooperation between religious actors and governments.
