Dutch pension gap: dubious interpretation of Pension Act costs job-switchers billions

Dutch unions, employers, and the Ministry of Social Affairs are applying a questionable interpretation of the new Pension Act, causing tens of thousands of job-switchers to miss out on over €30,000 in pension benefits. Experts claim this contradicts the law's intent, potentially leading to legal challenges and political fallout. The financial impact is significant for affected individuals, but the broader economic effect is limited.
