| description | "In July the European Commission launched a consultation on pension policy through the Green Paper ‘Towards adequate, sustainable and safe European pension systems’(European Commission, 2010). The Green Paper represents a summary of challenges and solutions to pension policy. Here we briefly set out a critical understanding of the paper.
We look at two key dimensions the paper has focused on: present and future challenges; possible solutions to the most evident tensions. We also add what seems to us the most evident missing point: the impact of two decades of reforms across Europe.
Pension policy will continue to be at the core of the political agenda for years. It is important to learn from past reforms, and to abandon ideological positions, while trying to act to make retirement programmes work in protecting against major social risks. Eventually, the present paper advances some proposals for a more balanced debate on pension policy." |
