OECD Expert Briefing: Pensions at a Glance: Are Today’s Pension Reforms Designed for Yesterday’s Society?

 

67 has become the new 65 across most OECD countries. Retirement ages and employment rates of older workers are rising across the OECD, while old-age relative poverty is steadily declining. But what about the next generation of retirees?

 
For young people starting out today, a job-for-life is a rare commodity. Many are facing shortened or interrupted careers due to late entry into the labor market, childcare or unemployment. Time out of work also means time out of pension systems. Combined with the challenge of aging societies, governments are facing a serious challenge to ensure the wellbeing of all, while adapting to the uncertainties of tomorrow’s world of work.
 
On December 11, join us for an OECD Expert Briefing to present the key findings of OECD’s “Pensions at a Glance 2015”, and an opportunity to dive deeper into the issues it presents with experts from the OECD and AARP.
