Praag, Bernard M. S. van; Hop, J. Peter - 2020
Pensions may be provided for in a modern society by a mix of several methods, namely by voluntary individual savings … workers decide on their own individual savings, that the fully-funded occupational system is decided upon by the age cohort of … pension savings are the only sources of capital supply.

Hougaard Jensen, Svend Erik; Thorsteinn Sigurdur Sveinsson - 2019
We find that segments of society who have shorter life expectancy can expect a lower retirement income and lifetime utility due to the longevity of other groups participating in the same pension scheme. Linking retirement age to average life expectancy magnifies the negative effect on the...

One pillar crumbling, the others too short : old-age provision in Germany
Werding, Martin - 2016
Public pay-as-you-go pensions still form the dominant pillar of old-age provision in Germany. This is in marked contrast to the situation in Anglo-Saxon countries. It has advantages if labour markets are strong, e.g., following a quick recovery from the Great Recession. It has disadvantages, as...

Ageing and the welfare state : securing sustainability
Meier, Volker; Werding, Martin - 2010
Over the next four decades, increasing old-age dependency ratios exert an enormous upward pressure on welfare spending in most developed countries. As this is mainly due to existing unfunded public pension schemes, many countries have embarked on far-reaching reforms in this area, strengthening...

Aging, taxes and pensions in Switzerland
Keuschnigg, Christian - 2016
The gains in life expectancy are expected to double the dependency ratio and increase population by 10% in Switzerland until 2050. To quantify the effects on pensions, taxes and social contributions, we use an overlapping generations model with five margins of labor supply: labor market...

Holzmann, Robert - 2000
Prefunding of pension commitments in OECD economies is increasingly seen as a central strategy to cope with the aging of their populations. This paper argues that investments in emerging markets can help at the margin but are unable to solve the demographic problem. While these investments bring...

Pensions and the nordic welfare model
Andersen, Torben M. - 2023
Within the frame of the Nordic welfare model, pension system design has taken very different routes. While the overall aims in terms of distribution and replacement rates are similar, the division of labour between defined benefit and contribution as well as pay-as-you-go versus funded schemes...
