Agreed PolicyA mixed pension system should combine basic old-age security with occupational provision, personal savings, family property and intergenerational responsibility.
Older people who have contributed to society should not face destitution, but retirement provision should not make citizens wholly dependent on one centralized state system.
Implementation note

The family formed around marriage is the fundamental social institution, and public policy should make marriage and child-rearing materially realistic.
Workers, employers, craftsmen, farmers and professions should participate in sectoral institutions setting standards, apprenticeships and labour conditions.
Taxation is legitimate for the common good but should be fair, family-sensitive, non-confiscatory and compatible with broad ownership, productive work and subsidiarity.
