Pension Reform in Europe

Since the Federal trust published "The Pension Time Bomb in Europe" in 1995 the debate has raged about what actions must be taken to cut the escalating costs of non funded state schemes in the EU.

More recently the federal trust has re-examined the problem in "Can Europe pay for its Pensions?" report.

Its conclusions are more optimistic based on the developing partnership between modified state achemes and private pension provision for all.

The European Comission has published its proposals on occupational pensions which are discussed by leading experts in this compendium, along with new statistical information about the impact of ageing populations on public pension system.
