Negotia – fersk undersøkelse: Fortsatt mangel på pensjonskunnskap

15 april 2015
  • Til tross for mye debatt om pensjon de siste årene, avslører en fersk undersøkelse utført av YS-forbundet Negotia, stor mangel på kunnskap om dette. – Det er bekymringsfullt at mange arbeidstakere fortsatt har store kunnskapshull om pensjon. Dette handler om å kjenne til hva man skal leve av når man trer ut av arbeidslivet, påpeker Arnfinn Korsmo, leder i YS-forbundet Negotia.

Unios notatserie nr. 2/2015: Realinntektsnedgang for alderspensjonister og minstepensjonister

07 april 2015
  • Alderspensjonister og minstepensjonister kan få en betydelig nedgang i realinntekten i år. Pensjonene skal reguleres svakere enn lønnsveksten. I tillegg skal det trekkes fra for «for høy» regulering i 2014. Samlet kan dette innebære nedgang i realinntekten for alderspensjonistene på ¾ prosent i år og ½ prosent for minstepensjonistene. Pensjonistene murrer og arbeidsminister Robert Eriksson fra Fremskrittssparteiet har fått en varm potet i fanget.

Is it all about access? Perceived access to occupational pensions in Germany

17 mars 2015
  • This paper provides an empirical analysis of what determines access to occupational pensions as perceived by workers. We investigate this issue in Germany, where workers have the legal right to an occupational pension since 2001, but many might lack the incentive or the ability to gather and process the relevant information to make use of their right.
