‘Central Planning Bureau systematically estimates the costs of AOW too high, no problem with affordability’

The government wants to make significant cuts in social security, but there is every reason to be very critical about this. ‘Cutting unemployment benefits has not gotten people to work any faster.’ Emeritus professor Paul de Beer tells Martin Visser in Kwestie van Centen that years of cutting back on benefits have not helped people’s reintegration. He is also sharp about the AOW approach: ‘The Central Planning Bureau systematically estimates the costs of the AOW too high.’ The podcast Kwestie van Centen can also be listened to via Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
