Prof. Youngju Nielsen has presented at a National Assembly forum on the pension system.
The forum convened leaders from labor, business, and financial investment sectors to discuss the future direction of retirement pension policy.
At the forum, Prof. Nielsen recommended that the committee overseeing the retirement pension system be entrusted to professionals and held accountable not for the returns they generate, but for how funds are managed.
In Korea, attention to pensions continues to grow as the system undergoes significant change.
Prof. Nielsen, a leading pension expert, actively engages the media and various forums to share her insights on the fund-type pension system currently being introduced by the government.
