"The EU’s population is ageing, with the proportion of working people among the total population falling. The economic crisis has helped increase the unemployment rate to 10%. In this situation, the EU and Member States must adopt measures to ensure the sustainability of their pension systems. Pension system reform must offer solutions for guaranteeing retired people minimum incomes providing a decent living.
In spite of the rise in the population’s life expectancy, the solution is not to raise the compulsory age of retirement. Elderly people who can and wish to remain active on the labour market can still make a contribution to the development of society without, however, feeling obliged to do so. At the same time, due to the economic crisis and the relocation of European industry to third countries, the number of jobs has fallen and people who are able to work, but cannot find a steady job, have problems achieving the minimum period for contributing to public pension systems. I wish to point out that raising the retirement age will result in a rise in youth unemployment."@en1
