The Development of occupational pension markets in the European Union and in Lithuania: regulation and challenges

ENThis chapter examines occupational pension market regulation and dynamics at the European Union level and in Lithuania. Over the last few decades, the diminished role of the state in the pension welfare market and corresponding legislation has favoured self-regulation. Beyond the debate and policy recommendations concerning the interaction between mandatory pension guarantees and complimentary pensions, the chapter also draws attention to the problems of the occupational pension market at the European Union level by analysing regulatory and other incentives for welfare market actors. Bitinas further examines why the development of occupational pension provision in Lithuania is limited and provides policy recommendations to enhance it. Keywords: regulation; law; pension markets.
