In this episode of Wegwijs na Invaren, Roel Mehlkopf and Marc Heemskerk speak with Agnes Joseph about her time in the Dutch Parliament and her involvement in the pension debate. What insights can be drawn from that period, and how does she now view the new pension system?

They also look ahead. What does a society in which people are living longer, and may spend 30 years or more in retirement, mean for pensions? Is the current system sufficiently equipped for this, or are further adjustments needed?

In addition, the role of solidarity, individual choice, and participation is explored in depth. How far should we go in this? And what does this mean for the balance between security and flexibility within the system?
