New publication
A decade after the major reform in the late 1990s, pension systems in the Central and Eastern Europe are now facing imminent challenges under the pressure of the financial consolidation in the aftermath of the global economic crisis. In the long-term, the pension systems need to restore their financial sustainability in the face of rapid and severe demographic changes. At the national level, each country takes a different approach to tackle these issues. This publication consolidates the national efforts through case study of eight countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Poland and Romania.
