Automatic enrolment
Подписчиков: 0, рейтинг: 0
In public services, automatic enrolment defines programmes where citizens are automatically included unless they opt out.
Examples include:
- Pensions in the United Kingdom as of 2012
- Organ donation in some countries such as Austria
Benefits and drawbacks
Automatic enrolment is recommended in the book Nudge by Thaler and Sunstein, as it promotes higher participation rates than when citizens are left to arrange their own pensions.
Libertarians argue against automatic enrolment as it impinges on an individual's freedom of choice.
