Pensions in the European Union: Adapting to Economic and Social Changes

Emmanuel Reynaud

International Social Security Review, 1998, vol. 51, issue 1, 31-46

Abstract: Throughout the European Union, pension schemes are undergoing a process of adaptation to a completely different context. Some of the main stumbling blocks to this process are the great number of issues involved and the diversity of questions that these raise: demographic changes, the labour market, economic growth, social justice, the ways of regulating the established provisions and decision‐making in their regard. These dimensions do not offer ready‐made answers, from the standpoint of pension financing. Apart from the complexity of the situation, however, a fundamental component of European societies is definitely at stake here: the ability to guarantee a decent level of security to all citizens when they reach retirement age.
