Unterschätzen wir trotz einiger Reformen immer noch die Rentenkosten in Belgien?
An andere junge Belgier: Wie denken Sie über die demografische Alterung? Glauben Sie, dass wir noch eine Rente haben werden?

Just so you know, when I was 19, I even had to do a survey (three couples) to enquire whether they thought they would have a pension. They all thought probably not. I am now myself at pension age.
What is going on in Luxemburg?
wtf is this psyop ass post
We could have taken measures 70 years ago., the situation we are in today was already clear then.
But as always, politicians choose to think in terms of the next elections, not in terms of the next generations.
This is an underestimate. On top of this you have to pay massive healthcare costs and care costs.
Basically the boomers have mismanaged this catastrophically and unlike Italy and Greece they’ve not managed to reduce their demands.
Quite frankly we’re badly positioned in Europe and terribly if you want to face global challenges. I think massive cuts are necessary and the money needs to be diverted to young people.
Boomers take 1/3 of tax revenue. Let that sink in.
Millennial here. I go through life assuming my generation will not receive a decent (if any) state pension once we reach retirement age. Been investing small amounts of money in index funds for years now to build my own cushion.
To fellow young Belgians: how do you feel about demographic ageing? Do you think we will still have a pension? –> I won’t have one and I don’t like the fact that I’ll have to contribute to this ponzy scheme
Of course we are, every government so far has ignored the issue in favour of pretending all is ok and keep handing out money we don’t have and they will continue to do so until it’s no longer salvageable
More background about the data and the assumptions on which this is based: [https://economy-finance.ec.europa.eu/publications/2024-ageing-report-economic-and-budgetary-projections-eu-member-states-2022-2070_en](https://economy-finance.ec.europa.eu/publications/2024-ageing-report-economic-and-budgetary-projections-eu-member-states-2022-2070_en)
I hate boomers so fucking much it’s unreal
it’s a necessary part of a healthy welfare state methinks. The alternative is screwing over generations that haven’t been able to save for a private pension.
How about we start taxing the 1%, instead of fucking over entire demographics?
