Pensions and Labour Market Structure.
Employees' occupational pension contributions do not reflect the factors that determine their actuarial cost. Men and women, old and young, contribute at the same rate even though sex and age determine the actuarial cost of a pension. Wages reflect und erlying remuneration plus the actuarial value of the occupational pen sion. This paper discusses how a competitive labor market will "unbu ndle" these benefits through the establishment of wage relativities in terms of sex, age, etc. If these benefits are not "unbundled" th e occupational pension system distorts the labor market. The paper co ncludes with a comparable analysis of the state pension scheme. Copyright 1987 by Royal Economic Society.
