Pension systems shall strive to safeguard the sustainability and future adequacy of pensions by ensuring a broad contribution base, linking the statutory retirement age to life expectancy and by closing the gap between the effective retirement and statutory retirement age by avoiding early exit from the labour force.
Pensionisüsteemid peavad tagama pensionide jätkusuutlikkuse ja piisavuse tulevikus; selleks on vaja luua lai maksubaas, siduda seadusjärgne pensioniiga oodatava elueaga, kaotada vahe seadusjärgse ja tegeliku pensioniea vahel ning vältida varajast lahkumist tööturult.
