Financial Sustainability of Pension Systems : Empirical Evidence from Central and Eastern European Countries (1st ed. 2021)

The sustainability of public pension systems has become an important aspect for governments and institutions worldwide.

This book addresses the multiple elements that influence the sustainability of pension systems with a special focus on central and eastern European countries.

Supported by the results of econometric empirical studies, the authors discuss and analyse areas like social economy versus capitalist economy, globalization versus glocalization, population aging versus birth and fertility, emigration versus immigration, early retirement versus prolongation versus professional activity, the sustainability of public pension systems versus the adequacy of benefits provided, public pension systems compared to private pension funds and taxation of salary incomes versus subsidization of state social insurance.
