Is it possible that pension plans be mandatory?

The debate on private pensions in Spain has resurfaced ahead of general elections on November 29. The issue has been stuck for years with various stakeholders, including pension fund managers, insurers, unions, and companies, holding different views. The private sector, through Inverco and Unespa, is pushing for a complementary pension system, citing the example of the UK's auto-enrollment model, where workers are automatically enrolled in an employment pension plan.
