  • Aging Populations, Pension Funds, and Financial Markets

    Regional Perspectives and Global Challenges for Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe

    The ageing of population is a phenomenon in the whole world but especially advanced in highly developed northern countries. The countries of Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe (CESE) have some of the oldest populations in the world. Combined with other challenges population ageing will place additional pressure on their pension systems. This study, a cooperation between ERSTE Stiftung and the World Bank, discusses six key themes that emerged from an international discussion on demographic ageing and financial markets against the backdrop of the countries of CESE.
