COBISS.SI-ID: 38860037This research analyses some of the key features of “The 2015 Ageing Report” and “The 2015 Pension Adequacy Report”, published in 2015 by the European Commission. It comments on the underlying population projections and the scope for differences of view and then considers what the projections tell us about future sustainability and adequacy of pension systems in the EU. This report should be a ‘must read’ for decision-makers and interested parties concerned with pensions and social security throughout the EU. Although there is a lot of uncertainty in the projections and the paper draws attention to some of their shortcomings, overall the picture is one of improving fiscal sustainability. The 2015 Ageing Report shows significant reductions in the long-term fiscal public expenditure implications of pensions. In part this results from the changes that have been made to the underlying population projections and other technical assumptions, but it also reflects a wide range of pension reform activity in most member states. Among the most prevalent of reform measures are those relating to increasing retirement age, but there have also been important changes to benefit accrual, to indexation, to qualifying periods for pension and some quite radical restructuring of social security program structures, for example the move in several member states from defined benefit to notional defined contribution arrangements. However, the research results warns that much has been assumed about the impact of reforms and there is still a long way to go to be sure that they will have the impact projected, also in relation to adaptation to the needs of seniors regarding housing and services.
