The Netherlands (and a bit of China) with Hans van Meerten
Manage episode 465955919 series 3402587
This week, Mark and Louise speak to Professor Hans van Meerten about the Netherlands’ pension system. Hans is a lawyer and academic, specializing in EU and Dutch pensions law.
We find out why the Netherlands is going through some big pension reforms, despite being top of the international league tables. From his legal perspective, Hans explains why he’s a critic of the current Dutch CDC model, the biggest problems in the system, and why he expects a lot of court cases down the line.
We also dive into China’s pension system briefly and Hans shares some fascinating insights into how that is developing.
