AGE member organisations – who represent both current pensioners and older workers – are worried about the potential consequences of the current financial and economic crisis on the long-term sustainability of their national pension systems. To voice their concerns and contribute to the debate on the post-Lisbon Strategy and the future Social Agenda, AGE is publishing this new statement on pensions reform, which builds on the expertise and feedback from AGE expert group on social protection and is a follow-up to the first AGE position,1 published in 2005.
The official launch of the brochure published by AGE and the Committee of the Regions on “How to promote ageing well in Europe: Tools and Instruments available to local actors” took place in Brussels on Wednesday 7th October during the European Week of Regions and Cities. The speakers introducing the event were Cllr. Constance HANNIFFY, President of ECOS Commission, Mr Lambert Van Nistelroiij, MEP, and Ms Anne-Sophie Parent, AGE’s director.
You can access the report of the event here.
The brochure is available in English, French and German.
Printed issues can be ordered for free at AGE’s secretariat at info@age-platform.org
