ABSTRACT

The questionnaire submitted to respondents naturally contained several questions on sol­ idarity, but also covered themes such as choice and loyalty. In this chapter we first discuss respondents' opinions on solidarity and redistribution (§5.1) and on choice (§5.2). We then look at which choices workers would make if their pension fund was in a precari­ ous financial position and they had the opportunity to exit from the fund (§5.3). We also discuss the population groups with which people would prefer to share or not to share risks in a pension fund (§5.4), and describe people's views about their own pension (§5.5). Finally, we investigate the extent to which characteristics such as age, education level and income are related to opinions on solidarity (§5.6). Section 5.7 ends the chapter with a number of conclusions.
