The pension book

The papyboom has started with a hundred new retirees each day. The Social Security has a deficit of several billions due to aging, and not because of the crisis.

Jean Hindriks (Senior Fellow at the Itinera Institute) and Ivan Van de Cloot (Chief Economist at the Itinera Institute) make an alarming conclusion about our pension system.

Only regeneration will breathe new life into our pension system.
