  • A house is not a retirement plan : households' perceptions of old age and the use of housing equity in Belgium
    Palmans, Vicky ; De Decker, Pascal
    With the coming boom of people entering pension age, the debate on the affordability of the legal pension in Belgium has accelerated. On the one hand, the argument is that the legal pension scheme ... will remain affordable, while on the other hand doom scenarios refer to its un-affordability and the fact that the legal pension will not be high enough to live a decent life when retired. With this last opinion in mind, it is not surprising that commentators and/or policy makers look at the assets households have and include them in the debates on the sustainability of the welfare scheme. In this paper, based on a qualitative research layout, using in-depth interviews with 30 households in the Ghent region, we report on the strategies and the attitudes of households concerning their future pension and the possibility of using the equity of their own house to supplement their income when retired.
