Ageing: Facts and Consequences

9 May 2017 - 9 May 2017 - 13:30 - 17:00

Cardano-Netspar Seminar

Our society is ageing and that puts several of our social contracts under pressure. There is a lot of discussion around the retirement age in the NL and intergenerational fairness. But how does the increased life-expectancy manifest across different ages? How will aging impact pension funds and our social welfare system?
In this seminar, Karin Modig (Sweden) and Dorly Deeg (the Netherlands) will shed some light on data from two seemingly similar countries. Apparently, there are some intriguing differences which will be revealed as they share their latest research and compare the observations from both countries. After the two presentation, we will have a round table discussion on how ageing will impact the Dutch pension schemes and how to address the ageing society in a generational neutral way.

Doorwerken na pensioen: praktijk en potentieel – Jasper Bosma – After-lunch webinar

: In het licht van aanhoudende krapte op de arbeidsmarkt wordt in toenemende mate gekeken naar AOW-gerechtigden die graag actief willen blijven in betaald werk. In dit onderzoek is daarom gekeken naar de trends rondom werken boven de AOW-leeftijd. Wie werken er door, waarom, wat voor werk doen ze, hoeveel, en in welke vorm? Daarnaast kijken we ook naar de overwegingen van AOW-gerechtigden die niet werken. Wat houdt hen tegen, en onder welke voorwaarden zouden zij bereid zijn wel te werken? Tot slot gaan we kort in op de rol van de werkgever en de overgang naar het nieuwe pensioenstelsel. Bij de beantwoording van de vragen kijken we naar verschillen naar geslacht, opleidingsniveau, en de sector waarin AOW-gerechtigden werkzaam zijn (geweest).
