Spanish Pensions Best in Europe?
Tuesday, October 6, 2026 @ 1:28 PM
European countries are busy reforming their pensions. Why? Because the population is ageing; birth-rates, even in Catholic Spain and Italy, are through the floor; and pension pots are in the red.
With this in mind, several governments are touting solutions to the problem.
Germany will establish a compulsory levy of 2% on top of salaries and wages.
France and Denmark are upping the age at which people may retire.
Italy will maintain its increases which are tied to life expectancy.
