Pension Reform in Central and Eastern Europe - in times of crisis, austerity and beyond -
(pdf 1,63 MB)
A decade after the major reform in the 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. At the national level, each country has taken a

(Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Poland and Romania). Through comparative analysis, it outlines possible
solutions to the challenges which these countries are facing in common in the short- and long-term.
