Proposals of the Czech Expert Committee on pension reform: balancing fairness, attractiveness and sustainability

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.
The Czech Expert Committee on Pension Reform came up with several proposals during the last year. These proposals aim to enhance the fairness of the pension benefits calculation, improve the attractiveness of the supplementary pension savings scheme and terminate the pension savings system. For some proposals one can assume a smooth approval process, whereas the other ones will require extensive society-wide discussions.
