Abstract: Abstract The present paper is concerned with the optimal control problem for a Gurtin–MacCamy type system describing the evolution of an age-structured population. Necessary optimality conditions are established in the form of an Euler–Lagrange system and existence of an optimal control is proved using the Ekeland principle.
