A comparison of pension-relevant preferences, traits, skills, and attitudes between the Dutch self-employed and employees
“The Self-employed are a diverse group but also show similarities with employees” The group of self-employed persons in the Netherlands is diverse and growing. Meeting their pension needs requires knowledge of their pension-related characteristics and how these differ from employees. This extensive exploratory analysis looks at three categories of self-employed, namely solo self-employed, self-employed with personnel, and owner-manager. It compared them with employees as…
Visual communication of uncertain pension outcomes
“Clear visual representations of uncertainty remain a challenge” In the new Dutch pension system, pension organisations need to inform participants that the pension outcome is uncertain. Visual metaphors are frequently used to convey this complex message. Unfortunately, participants often misinterpret the intended message because the visual representation fails to convey the metaphor with sufficient clarity. We therefore compared the navigation visualisation currently used in…

Therefore, buffers are necessary to cover shocks, like the Great Recession, in order to make good on those promises. But, do shocks to financial buffers, like the funding…
Payment effects and cost-covering premiums in the new surviving dependants’ pension
“New proposals will lead to additional DP income for low-income groups” If proposals in the new Future of Pensions Act (Wtp) are accepted, surviving dependants’ pensions (DP) will radically change in the Netherlands. The diverse range of schemes currently on offer will be standardised, thereby improving transparency. This study considers the impact of the proposed changes on DP payments and cost covering premiums and…
Are NDC pension plans a useful alternative for the Netherlands?
“Exploring options for strengthening pensions for everybody” Eroding participation in mandatory pension plans and the reduced scope of intergenerational risk sharing are two problems for which a non-financial defined contribution (NDC) system, also known as a notional DC scheme, can provide a solution. This paper explores the possible implementation of several variants of NDC’s. It also discusses other alternative solutions. Read one pager …
Personal life events and individual risk preferences
“Marriage, parenthood and work influence risk preferences” Measuring risk preferences plays an important role in the Future Pensions Act. The financial industry and policymakers often implicitly assume that a person’s risk preferences remain stable over time. However, personal life events could seriously impact these preferences. Therefore this study investigated whether personal changes in marital status, parenthood and employment are associated with changes in risk…
