ABSTRACT
The increasing role of defined contribution (DC) pension arrangements means that more and more individuals are facing various retirement risks. Moreover, DC arrangements are not free of significant flaws. The aim of this paper is to discuss the main challenges that are faced by DC pension members and policy makers and to briefly present possible solutions to these problems
