Overview

This analysis reveals EU goals for social policy regarding pensions and long term care among member states, suggesting necessary harmonization.

Key Points

  • Harmonizing social policies for the elderly is crucial for facing population aging and globalization challenges.
  • The EU promotes a minimum standard of living for the elderly, incorporating private pensions for maintaining previous living standards.
  • Social policy remains under the competence of member states, complicating supranational implementation of EU goals.
  • A strong integrated Europe aims to effectively address the needs of the elderly amidst growing global competitiveness.
