The Future of Pension Plans in the EU Internal Market / Nazaré da Costa Cabral and Nuno Cunha Rodrigues (eds.)

Pension systems around the world are more or less in serious problems. Reasons are manifold, and primary caused by demographic changes (increased longevity and decreased natural growth) and systemic (the high outlays for pension expenditures, which have relatively small - or at least insufficient - impact on the well-being of the older population). A new publication The Future of Pension Plans in the EU Internal Market - Coping with Trade-Offs Between Social Rights and Capital Markets published by Springer, provides a new light on the situation and possible solutions in this phenomenon. In the introduction editors briefly explain the goal of the publication and contributions by particular authors. In the circumstances of a period after the serious financial and economic crisis, pension systems are on a crossroad between the development of the inner capital market and the outlook of a new role of the EU regarding social policy. Such policy should be an efficient response to common challenges, like digital revolution, ageing, globalisation, new form of work and the future of employment.
