Call for Abstracts: New Social Risks and Pension Policies in Europe
Submit your abstract by February 28, 2019
European welfare states have seen major transformations of their social security systems over the past decades. In addition to “old” risks such as unemployment and sickness, “new” social risks have emerged. The Members of the Social Policy Colloquium of the Hertie School of Governance (HSoG) and the Research Data Center of the German Statutory Pension Insurance (FSZ-RV) are jointly organizing a conference that brings together researchers who work on “new social risks” and their implications for old-age security:
Conference “New Social Risks and Pension Policies in Europe”
