Europeanisation
The European Social Observatory has launched research on "Ensuring an Adequate Pension in a European Context". The aim of the research is twofold: inform decisionmakers about the social consequences of recent reforms in the pension systems of 'old', 'new' and future EU Members States; and shed light on the impact of EU initiatives (OMC, legislation) in the field of pensions on domestic systems.
