Experts warn that the growing cost of pensions is forcing neglect of health care or education
De la Fuente (Fedea) y Fuentes (Universidad de Alcalá de Henares) piden en el Congreso abordar dónde quiere la sociedad invertir la riqueza
The Commission of the Toledo Pact is set to renew its recommendations and is hearing from expert economists on pensions. Ángel de la Fuente, executive director of FEDEA, and Daniel Fuentes, professor of Economic Theory at the University of Alcalá, have given their views. They agree that the growing pension expenditure problem stems from the "opportunity cost", meaning that increased spending on pensions takes away from other public services like healthcare, education, and infrastructure. This is due to the limited public budget.
