_________________________________

Greens support a life-course approach to pensions. But what exactly does this include? What are its consequences with regard to pension policies in Europe? This meeting offers a platform for a political discussion amongst Greens to discuss and consolidate a common position. We want to learn what a life-course approach to pensions looks like in practice from regional and national experiences, and how it relates to existing mechanisms and research.
