This presentation by Jerry Moriarty, CEO of the Irish Association of Pension Funds (IAPF), explores the international aspects of pension systems and the challenges posed by ageing populations. With a focus on the shift towards individualization in retirement savings, Moriarty discusses how political confusion affects pension frameworks. He highlights the urgent need for reforms to help people save more for retirement through increased savings, longer working years, and a clearer understanding of pension responsibilities to ensure secure retirements for future generations.
