Many modern employment biographies consist of atypical employment and discontinuities; both negatively impact the pension entitlements of the individuals. This dissertation develops an inninnovative approach that offers flexibility to absorb demographic changes as well as labor market developments, without threatening the financial stability of the public pension scheme.
