Românii plătesc printre cele mai mari contribuții la pensie, dar au printre cele mai mici pensii în UE. De ce? • Newsweek România

Romanians face significant pension contributions but receive some of the lowest pensions in the EU. Despite recent increases, the average pension remains low compared to other European countries. The National Bank of Romania highlights that high contribution rates and shorter working lives contribute to this disparity. The average pension in Romania is around 2,821 lei, while other EU countries have much higher averages. The report emphasizes the need for higher salaries and longer work participation to improve pension levels. Additionally, recent pension increases have led to a substantial rise in future pension obligations, raising concerns about the sustainability of the public pension system.
