Aon Consulting’s European Pensions Barometer provides an overall assessment of the pensions risks European Union (EU) countries face and focuses on the impact or strains that pension systems place on the economy, employers and the citizens of each EU country.
Private pensions are analysed, along with demographics, the adequacy of state provision and the affordability and sustainability of state pensions and each country is graded ‘Fair’, ‘Unsettled’, ‘Stormy’ or ‘Severe’.
This year’s study is the third carried out by Aon and the second that contains analysis for 25 of the 27 EU member states. We have refined measures to take advantage of reliable data sources, but for the most part the analysis is consistent with previous years.
The analysis aims to be entirely objective and therefore reflects pension reforms only in so far as they impact on the statistics being produced. As reforms come into effect the impact on the measures used can be slow. However, the mix of current and projected measures aims to ensure that sufficient weight is given to change such programmes.
