Europe is dealing with a profound demographic crisis. Pension reform is necessary to preserve the sustainability of public finances. At the same time, its design must account for severe welfare implications. Women are especially affected: They are too often caught between work and caregiving but face financial disadvantages if they retire early. This Policy Debate also looks at how aging shapes preferences – particularly voting patterns, attitudes toward war and peace, and patience and long-term investment decisions.
