The presentations at the webinar will provide in-depth insights into the impact of raising the pension claiming age on labour market outcomes in Sweden, the impact of the Finnish guarantee pension on labour supply, pension coverage of the self-employed and the increasing risk of poverty in old age in Germany, and involuntary retirement pathways in the Netherlands. Two commentators will discuss the research in a broader context.  

Join the ETK Pension Research Forum to hear expert insights and engage in discussions on issues that affect both current and future pension arrangements.
