Indexatiebeleid ontwerpen met stochastisch inkomen – After-lunch webinar – Sliem el Ela
Dit webinar laat zien hoe inflatierisico en onzeker arbeidsinkomen van invloed zijn op beleggingskeuzes en indexatiebeleid van pensioenfondsen. Aan de hand van drie modellen analyseren de auteurs wat er gebeurt als inflatie niet (volledig) kan worden afgedekt. De resultaten zijn direct relevant voor Nederlandse pensioenfondsen onder de Wtp, waar marktincompleetheid en inflatie-onzekerheid een grote rol spelen bij lifecycle-beleggen en indexatiebeslissingen.

Minder werken vóór pensioen: plannen en realiteit – After-lunch webinar Camilla Marabini
Policies that aim to extend working lives can be difficult for older workers who face high job demands, caregiving responsibilities, or health problems. One proposed solution is allowing employees to reduce their working hours in the years before retirement. Using data from 1,241 Dutch employees aged 60–63 over eight years, the study finds that about one quarter planned to reduce their hours and one third eventually did so. The results show that workplace arrangements for reducing work hours play a key role in enabling this transition, especially for employees experiencing high job pressure.
