This on-line mini-conference, jointly organized by the Pierre Werner Chair of the European University Institute and the Banco de España, will focus on social security reforms that can help to prevent the crisis of social security pay-as-you-go systems due to the demographic tsunami that many countries will undergo in the next decades.
In the first part, three research papers will be presented and discussed that focus on the design and financial aspects, as well as an overall alternative to the pay-as-you-go system.
This (Backpack) alternative is the starting point of the second part in which a panel will discuss challenges and reforms of European pay-as-you-go systems.
