Self-employed should be forced to save for a pension: AFM
Dutch NewsThe self-employed may have to be forced to save for their pensions and employers should have more say in how much they contribute to employees’ pensions, the Dutch financial regulator AFM says in a report published on Tuesday. The AFM report is the regulator’s vision on pensions in the future and it says the present system is not flexible enough and does not take into account individual differences. ‘Not everyone has the same pension needs,’ the AFM’s Harman Korte told the Financieele Dagblad. Solidarity The AFM report follows remarks made last year by the most senior civil servant in the economic affairs ministry, who told the Volkskrant that the number of self-employed without private pensions is putting pressure on the traditional Dutch institutions of collectivity and solidarity.
