PvdA and GroenLinks clear the way to support pension reform

Dutch News  

The Labour party and GroenLinks have withdrawn some of their objections to government plans to reform the pension system, clearing the way for the legislation to pass in the senate. The two parties did use the last major debate on the changes in the lower house on Thursday night to renew their call for some amendments – including a government commitment to halve the number of people without a corporate pension to 450,000. They also want to change the minimum age to start building up a pension to go down from 21 to 18 and to make sure agency staff start contributing earlier. The Dutch pension system is currently based on three pillars – the state pension AOW, compulsory corporate pension schemes – either sector-wide or company based – and individual or private pension schemes.
