This article was published as part of a series of economic disputes in order to differentiate between facts and opinions in the field of pensions. The public debate on the pension system is very complex, both because of the complexity of pension arrangements and because of its ideological aspect. The article first presents the basics of pension economy, followed by the central disputes in this subject, some of which are ideological and others pragmatic.
