This comprehensive and timely book serves two vital purposes: firstly, it provides a thorough exploration of European pension law, delving into the legal aspects of various pension forms across the continent. Secondly, it delves into the core legal policy issues that shape the pension landscape in Europe.

Within the pages of this book, the three primary categories of pensions—state pensions, occupational pensions, and personal pensions—are examined in detail, along with the challenges of financing, institutions, solvency, stakeholders, and rights and duties. By offering a nuanced guide to the field, this book goes beyond a mere paraphrase of European law or the case law of the European Court of Justice. Moreover, Yves Stevens sheds light on the fundamental principles of European pension law, considering them from historical, sociological, and teleological perspectives.

The central theme of this book revolves around the ongoing interplay between law, economics, and social policy, serving as the guiding framework for the legal debates at its core. Through its unique insight into the workings of the European bodies involved in shaping pension legislation, EU Pension Law emerges as a valuable resource for scholars and students pursuing studies in financial regulation, economics, European law, finance law, and social security law.
