Mini symposium ter gelegenheid van het afscheid van Lans Bovenberg van Tilburg University

This is a Dutch Speaking Event.

As one of the founders of Netspar, Lans Bovenberg has played a major role in the discussion surrounding the reform of the Dutch pension system. After more than 15 years of discussion, in December 2022, the House of Representatives decided to significantly reform the Dutch pension system by adopting the Future Pensions Act. The law is currently being discussed in the Senate, after which the new system is expected to apply in 2027. In the meantime, social partners, fund boards, accountability bodies, works councils, etc. and also the participants themselves still have to make many choices in order to implement the new system for their specific situation.

During this symposium, on the occasion of the farewell of Prof. Dr. Lans Bovenberg as professor at Tilburg University back and forth:
What has become of the intended goals and ideals? What are the main points of attention for the coming years?

After a kick-off by Lans, Peter Gortzak and Theo Kocken react and we conclude with a discussion among all those present.

Voorkeuren en overtuigingen rondom ESG-beleggen in de pensioencontext – After-lunch webinar Zitong Ding, Stefan Zeisberger, Jorgo Goossens

Dit artikel onderzoekt hoe Nederlandse huishoudens denken over duurzaam beleggen in pensioenen. Op basis van een enquête uit 2025 onder circa 310 respondenten vinden we aanwijzingen voor verschillen tussen steun voor duurzaam beleggen en feitelijke portefeuilles. Mogelijke verklaringen zijn onder meer scepsis over greenwashing, beperkte kennis van duurzaamheid, ervaren complexiteit en zorgen over risico en rendement.

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.
