Why a new pension system?
Retirement rules worked well for years, but that is changing. It is not clear enough how much money people pay for their retirement. And is the economy doing well? In that case, the pensions can sometimes still not be increased. That feels unfair. Thirdly, people change jobs more often, stop working for a while or start their own company. The rules for pensions do not fit this situation well. Therefore they need to be adjusted.We want everyone in the Netherlands to be able to receive a good pension. Even the generations after us. That is why the unions, employers and the government have jointly made new rules for pensions. In the coming years we will implement these new rules together.

Results participant survey
At the end of March, we conducted a participant survey to ask for your opinion regarding your preferences for a new pension scheme.

A large majority prefers to leave investment choices to the pension fund. The results are very useful when choosing a new pension scheme.
