CESifo is a global, independent research network with members from across the world. Members are prominent economists with a broad spectrum of specialisms, each of whom brings years of experience and a high level of expertise to our research areas. Collectively, our mission is to advance international scientific knowledge exchange about economics and economic policy, to strengthen the cooperation between the ifo Institute and LMU Munich, and to maintain Munich as a vibrant hub of economic debate in Europe. CESifo is funded by the State of Bavaria.

EconPol Forum 03/2026: Dealing with Demographics: The Policy Challenges of an Aging Europe

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.
