| Summary: | It is desirable that pension reforms and
legislated rules have the backing of thepopulation or at
least are accepted by voters. With the objective of
achieving “acceptance,”the Swedish Pensions Agency publishes
an annual actuarial balance of the solvency of the whole
public pension system and distributes to each participant
information on his or her individual accumulated notional
balance and funded accounts, movements during the year,and
estimates of the projected individual future pension amount.
This paper describes the Swedish pension experience in
communication with pension participants over the last
decade, together with the main changes in information
delivered to improve individuals’ pension knowledge and help
them make more informed, better decisions on work,
savings,and retirement. |
