A new ‘old age’

PensioenUpdate#41 - English version

A new pension system. This will likely also mean a new pension scheme for you. What is going to happen?

  • What you are contributing and what you can expect in the future in terms of pension needs to be explained more clearly;
  • The aim is that the current level of pension remains feasible;
  • Pensions will become more active. They are more likely to rise when the economy is performing well and more likely to decline when the economy is not performing well;
  • Employers and employees continue to set aside funds for pensions jointly. The largest part comprises pension funds that are invested.

Who takes the initiative?

Consultations between the employer and the works councils have now begun. These are the parties who decide what the new pension scheme will look like in the future. We will let you know as soon as there is any progress. Want to know more about the new pension system? Please check out further information or watch the government video (both in Dutch).
