West Bank and Gaza Public Expenditure Review - The Palestinian Pension System: A Roadmap for an Unfinished Reform

Autor: Banco Mundial
Año: 2023
Resumen: This work builds on the Public Expenditure Review (PER) analysis of the pension system conducted in 2016 but also brings important innovations. It updates the financial analysis conducted then and offers new policy recommendations, with the key objective of improving the affordability of the pension system, subject to benefit adequacy. The principal difference of this work is in the adopted approach, which looks at the pension system holistically and offers advice from the angle of rationalizing the overall public expenditure policy in pensions, rather than working with each pension scheme individually. In doing so, it takes a forward-looking approach and minimizes the dependency path of the convoluted legacy system. The work also incorporates a component that looks at the Palestinian Pension Agency’s (PPA) administrative systems using a new Bank tool – Social Insurance Administrative Diagnostic (SIAD). The findings reveal a system with unfinished reforms and call for a comprehensive restructuring of the pension financing arrangements, along with a change of the construct of the system. This work is largely diagnostic in nature, offering high level policy recommendations and suggesting a comprehensive follow up analysis. While presenting a status quo analysis and illustrating effects of several parametric adjustments, the main set of recommendations is centered around the structural adjustments and financial restructuring in the public sector pension scheme, which would require a round of follow up work, elaborating and modeling various reform cases, including careful fine-tuning of the transitional provisions.

Older Persons in Vulnerable Situations

Autor: Comisión Económica de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para Europa (UNECE)
Año: 2023
Resumen: At any age, intersecting factors such as poverty, disability, social isolation and exposure to abuse can increase the risk of vulnerability and weaken resilience in the case of adverse events. The COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation, natural disasters, and war are examples of adverse events that have disproportionately affected vulnerable persons, including many older persons. Often, the capacities and vulnerabilities of older persons remain invisible as their voices are less heard and their needs less known due to a lack of data and research, and their insufficient involvement in decision-making. A key challenge, therefore, is to inform, design and implement comprehensive policies that protect vulnerable older persons from adverse outcomes, enhance resilience and allow them to fulfil their full potential in later life. The policy strategies presented in this Policy Brief cover the areas of income and housing, health and long-term care, prevention of violence, abuse and neglect, and social participation as well as the importance of adequate data and research and the involvement of older persons in decision-making.

Aumentos salariales y aportes al Sistema Dominicano de Pensiones

Autor: Giraldi, Antonio; Mariñez, Isaac
Año: 2023
Resumen: Dados los aumentos de salarios mínimos resueltos en el Comité Nacional de Salarios (CNS), resulta fundamental entender el impacto de dichos salarios en los aportes al Sistema Dominicano de Pensiones (SDP) para prever el impacto en el financiamiento de las instituciones del sistema, así como los potenciales efectos sobre la densidad de cotizaciones y el saldo final de los afiliados. Este ejercicio empírico encuentra que los aumentos de salario mínimo modifican la trayectoria del recaudo de la seguridad social, observándose que, en términos generales, el efecto del salario mínimo sobre el nivel de salario predomina sobre la pérdida de empleo, aumentando así los aportes agregados de la seguridad social, lo que además indica que quienes se mantienen en el mercado laboral mejoran sus perspectivas económicas luego del retiro. Sin embargo, debe considerarse que la disminución de las oportunidades de empleo que resulta de esos aumentos salariales puede tener un impacto negativo en el saldo y los períodos de cotización de miles de afiliados.

Economic Well-being at Older Ages

Autor: Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), Departamento de Asuntos Económicos y Sociales; Roig, Marta; Maruichi, Daisuke
Año: 2023
Resumen: Worldwide, populations are ageing rapidly due to gains in life expectancy and declines in fertility. The trend towards a growing number and share of older persons is projected to continue in the foreseeable future. As the number of older persons grows, their socioeconomic and demographic characteristics will evolve as well, with implications for economies, societies and public budgets. While long-term trends are hard to predict, assessing the characteristics of current and future cohorts of older persons provides important insights into the future of our ageing world. On the one hand, future cohorts of older persons are likely to be healthier and more educated—and therefore more productive—than those of today, despite the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Continuing scientific and technological innovations, including medical and pharmaceutical advances, will allow many to enjoy healthier and longer lives. On the other hand, the information presented in this brief indicates that successive cohorts of youth and adults are increasingly insecure in the labour market and more and more unequal in both developed and developing countries with available data. Without swift and bold policy action to counter this trend, future cohorts of older persons may be more unequal than those of today.
