Concluding Remarks

Chapter Chapter 7 in Essentials of Pension Economics, 2019, pp 115-116 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The debate on pensions is inevitably influenced by differences in political viewpoints as to the extent to which the State should replace the market when the latter fails to ensure the well-being to a large portion of population. However, knowledge of the fundamentals of pension economics can help to purge the debate from preconceived disagreement, as can be seen in the case of the growing consensus as to the need to amend the perverse and regressive redistributions of many DB earnings—related pension systems. Hopefully this book provides the patient readers with the tools needed to weigh up the pros and cons of alternative policy proposals, being aware that there is no magic wand at hand to solve the complex problems threatening the future of public pension systems.
