Análisis financiero y tributario del sistema de pensiones portugués semejanzas y diferencias con el sistema de pensiones español

Por Carlos David Aguilar Segado  El sistema de pensiones portugués se asemeja al modelo español al estructurarse en torno a los tres pilares básicos de las pensiones públicas obligatorias, tanto contributivas como no contributivas, y de las pensiones privadas complementarias, tanto empresariales como individuales, basadas en el modelo de seguro profesional prusiano del siglo XIX.

The gender pensions gap report 2024

By Joanne Segars, Lizzy Holliday & Laura Wilkinson The gender pensions gap- the difference in pension savings wealth between men and women at retirement age - is substantial. Allowing for typical working patterns, women's pension wealth is a third (33%) less, relative to men. These figures are the result of a lifetime of reduced earnings potential, increased time out of the workforce and other contributory factors.

Results show that stronger resilience was protective in terms of financial fragility, and financial literacy...

The Government Pension Identity Crisis

By T. Leigh Anenson, J.D., LL.M., Ph.D. & Hannah R. Weiser, J.D., M.B.A. The Contract Clause once dominated the docket of the Supreme Court. But now the clause belongs to the museum of constitutional law.
