Abstract:
This Bachelor’s Thesis analyzes the financial sustainability of the pension systems in Spain and the Netherlands within the context of an aging population. The study compares two distinct models: the Spanish system, based primarily on a public pay-as-you-go scheme, and the Dutch system, characterized by a mixed structure with a significant emphasis on occupational funded schemes. Drawing on demographic, budgetary, and pension adequacy indicators, the thesis identifies the strengths and weaknesses of each system and proposes potential areas for improvement within the Spanish context.
