Andrew Tate says that pensions are a Ponzi Scheme that depends on new incoming people to support the underlying base of people (at lesst that’s how I understood it).

Is there any truth to this? Or is he just being hyperbolic?

Well you must exclude money purchase schemes where the pension is a tax efficient form of saving.

Public pensions do rely on current contributions. But Ponzi schemes trick investors by financing initial returns out of investments. Not at all the same thing
