Last but not least, there are longer-term structural reforms, such as labor-market reforms that increase flexibility without leading to large-scale lay-offs (a model rather successfully implemented by Germany). Similarly, retirement and pension reforms can increase long-term fiscal sustainability without generating social conflict.
最后一项要点是，长期的体制改革，如，劳动力市场改革，增加了市场灵活性却并未导致大规模的裁员（这种模式在德国成功施行）。同样，退休金和养老金改革，可以促进长期的财政稳定，而不带来社会冲突。如果工作有了灵活性，一个健康的老年人很有可能会喜欢做一些兼职。关键任务就是在合理的管理和激励下，将这种工作与劳动力市场的全面运作相融合。
