Although motivated by common drivers - an ageing society and technological revolution - the responses and incentives are substantially (philosophically) different. Ultimately, there is a tension between social rights and financial markets that may end up with the predominance of one over the other. In the current (liberalizing) environment and considering past and recent EU policy guidance on this matter - the timidity of the social-rights centred strategy (contained in the European Pillar of Social Rights) in contrast with the impulse given to the development of the Capital Markets Union - may after all mean the triumph of a financial market-driven approach. |
