Students should be able to discuss the main aspects of population ageing challenge. They should also be able to explain the main reasons why pension reforms have been undertaken in Central European countries since 1990 and also know the contents of the reforms. |

Content of the course The course starts with a general overview of current global challenges and of the various approaches to address them. Next, we focus on the demographic change: the graying of the Western world, youth bulges in some developing countries and the one-child policy in China. We briefly discuss their economic, environmental and societal implications. Then we turn our attention to Central European pension systems. We analyze different proposals to make the pension systems 'future-proof'. Among other topics, we will examine whether reform proposals are financially 'best value', whether they are robust to various shocks and whether they take into account the interests of different stakeholders.
