The Pension System in the "Gallup WIFO Opinion Check"

Invitation to the Press Conference on 20 February 2020 at the Presseclub Concordia

To initiate the "Gallup WIFO Opinion Check", WIFO director Christoph Badelt, Gallup-COO Andrea Fronaschütz, WIFO pension expert Christine Mayrhuber and WIFO forecast expert Stefan Schiman will address the topic of pensions at a press conference on February 20, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. at the Presseclub Concordia (Bankgasse 8, 1010 Vienna).
