Panel event: “Pensions summit 2030”

Despite numerous reforms in Austria, the federal subsidy for pensions has risen significantly in recent years. According to experts, demographic trends mean that Austria will be facing a doubling of the so-called "old-age burden ratio" from 2030 due to the imminent retirement of the baby boomers. The focus of the summit organized by s Versicherung, which took place on 25 November 2014, was on how to overcome this challenge and what solutions are available to safeguard the pension system.

At the concluding panel discussion, Ulrich Schuh, Chief Research Officer, was joined by Federal Minister Rudolf Hundstorfer, Therese Niss (Young Industry), Manfred Rapf (s Versicherung) and Bert Rürup (Handelsblatt Research Institute and former economic expert).
