Paying for pensioners, your budget or mine? - 2

European countries make up 9 of the ten countries with extreme fiscal or Government budget risk  arising from high debt level and old age entitlements.  


Italy is ranked the country most at risk for the second year running, whilst Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Japan, Ukraine, Latvia, Hungary, Austria and Portugal also feature in the highest risk category. Germany (14), Spain (23) and France (33) are all categorised as high risk nations, with USA (88) rated medium risk. 


The demographic situation in most of these countries is accentuated further by their exposure to the global recession, which has left Government balance sheets deep in the red.

  7. Harvesting badly designed social benefits is a great "pull factor" in
    European migration, just as poverty and persecution are persistent "push
    factors", even 70 years after the great forced migrations of the XX century.

    In terms of health care, NHS-countries have a tradition of treating anyone
    who needs it, while health-insurance countries often restrict reimbursement
    for health care provided elsewhere. This burdens taxpayers in those "Club
    Med" countries which attract "snow-bird" pensioners.
    In the US, pensioners from Michigan take their federal Medicare coverage with
    them when they move to Florida.
    That's why we need a coordinated and harmonized approach accross Europe,which
    some countries are blocking.

    Note to migrantes coming south: The sunshine and the good ambiance are free.
    Everything else has to be paid for and reimbursed.
