Europe’s Pension Crisis: Young People Demand Fairness and Propose Reform

The paper was developed by young people from across Europe involved with the European Youth Parliament (EYP). They came together at international forums in Thessaloniki and The Hague, as well as at European Retirement Week in Brussels, where they collaborated with experts to explore the pension challenges confronting their generation.

The findings offer practical proposals to make pensions fairer and more reliable. They were shared at the annual conference of Insurance Europe in Brussels on the 5th of June 2025, gathering industry professionals and leaders, decision makers, and over 50 interested young Europeans.

The voices of young people are a clear call to action, urging policymakers to listen, innovate, and collaborate on reforms that ensure dignity and security in retirement for all Europeans.
