DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE AND ECONOMIC STAGNATION
8 December 2014 – Cass Business School, London
Registration 9.30am | Presentation 10.00am -12.00pm
The new report explores the crucial and far-reaching challenges that pension systems are currently facing. The present economic environment, characterised by low returns on investment, low growth and low interest rates is compounding the problems posed by population ageing by creating sustainability problems for pay-as-you-go financed public pensions, solvency issues for defined benefit plans and adequacy challenges for defined contribution pensions.
It scrutinises the impact of the financial crisis on pension reform while highlighting key areas where further change should be considered to strengthen the regulatory framework overall.
