Summary/Abstract: Governments, social partners and pension funds in the EU have taken measures to increase the sustainability of their pension systems. These measures come with challenges. Pensions have been cut or contributions have increased. Inevitably, such measures have intergenerational distributional impacts; they also decrease pension adequacy, or put pressure on wage cost or disposable income. Furthermore, the statutory pension age has risen and early retirementis discouraged.
