Problem with long term projects is that politicians don’t get to reap the benefits. A politician needs to survive the next five years. Good pension reform will bear fruits in 10, 20, 30 or 40 years.

Does high housing prices help?
People come here, work here, pay into pension fund and then they leave or live in bordering countries where they get lower pensions from their respective countries.

Sure, there will be a pension reform in the country 100%, as it is not sustainable the way it is. I think the article is fair, there are valid points being made. Personally, I think Lux is too much focused on providing a constant lifestyle to the residents. No, no one needs a 10k pension, even if you made 10k previously – you need to save and invest if you earn so much…. in all fairness, I have also abused the system when I was unemployed, getting an unreasonably large chomage. This shouldn’t be so common. The second thing I guess is a tax raise, which I think no one can really complain about.
