Private pensions and social inclusion in europe: a study of germany, italy, the netherlands, poland, switzerland and the united kingdom

Objective

Private Pensions are widely regarded to be one appropriate way to address the problems of demographic change. While steps have been taken across Europe to support the expansion of the private sector, knowledge about its social inclusiveness is insufficient. The proposed project, therefore, involves an empirical comparative study, which will be undertaken in close collaboration with experts from the national and European pension policy networks, of private provision for typical "risk biographies". On the basis of this comparative and collaborative approach, technically and politically feasible reform proposals will be developed that can improve protection for citizens at risk. Thus, evidence-based policy recommendations will be the final result of the research process, an outcome that will help to close a knowledge gap in pension politics.
