Projections on poverty in old age – improved analytical ability of the Hungarian pension authorities

The ESPN Flash Reports are produced by the European Social Policy Network (ESPN) established in 2014 to provide the European Commission with independent information, analysis and expertise on social policies. The topics presented in the Flash Reports are identified by ESPN experts in the light of significant developments in their countries, or in some cases suggested by the Commission.

The ESPN is managed by LISER and APPLICA, with the support of OSE - European Social Observatory. For more information, please visit this website.
Since mid-2015, the Hungarian pension administration is equipped with a dynamic microsimulation model, which has enhanced its ability to make projections about the future stability of the pension system as well as to test the aggregate and distributive consequences of various policy measures.
