Improving supplementary pension participation and accrual in the Netherlands: a comparative study of New Zealand, Sweden, the UK and the Netherlands on pension design and pension taxation in relation to the labor market

The aim of this project is to learn lessons from other countries (New Zealand, Sweden and the UK in particular) and to find new insights on how pension design and pension taxation may increase the participation rates of workers in (supplementary) pensions in the Netherlands and contribute to the accrual of additional old-age income for those with inadequate coverage. This means that this project seeks to explore how pension design and tax treatment regulations can impact (supplementary) pension participation and accrual in the Netherlands.
