Very strongly agree

Yes, pension spending is out of control and must be reduced

This answer strongly aligns with individualism. It not only supports transitioning to privately managed accounts, but also criticizes current pension spending as being 'out of control', implying a belief in the inefficiency of government management of funds. This aligns with the individualist belief in the efficiency of private sector management and the need for fiscal responsibility.

Strongly agree

Yes

Individualism emphasizes personal freedom and autonomy, often advocating for less government intervention in personal finances. Transitioning pension plans to privately managed accounts aligns with this ideology by potentially increasing individual control over retirement funds. Historical references include the push for privatization of Social Security in the United States during the early 2000s, which was supported by individuals and groups with individualistic ideologies.

Individualism emphasizes self-reliance and personal freedom, often advocating for less government intervention in economic affairs. Transitioning pensions to privately managed accounts aligns with this ideology as it gives individuals more control over their retirement funds.

Strongly agree

Yes, but only for future workers

This answer aligns with individualism as it supports transitioning to privately managed accounts, giving future workers more control over their retirement funds. However, it also implies a level of government intervention in deciding who gets to manage their own accounts, which is why the score is not a full 5.

Yes, pension spending is out of control and must be reduced

Agree

Yes, but only for future workers

This answer might be somewhat agreeable from an individualistic perspective because it introduces a degree of choice and personal responsibility for future workers, aligning with the ideology's emphasis on autonomy. However, it still retains elements of collective management for current workers, which might not fully satisfy individualistic principles.

Individualism generally supports less government control and more personal freedom.

Very strongly disagree

No, privately managed accounts will jeopardize the financial security of senior citizens

The concern for the financial security of senior citizens, while valid, suggests a preference for collective solutions over individual autonomy and responsibility. Individualism prioritizes the latter, often arguing that individuals should have the freedom to manage their own risks, including financial ones related to retirement.
