Supplementary pension schemes in France

Autor: Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT)

Resumen: Supplementary pension schemes are gaining in popularity in France ; in December 1955 their resources totalled more than 50,000 million francs and their membership over a million-and-a-half. These schemes have a number of valuable features. Not only do they supply an addition to the old-age pension payable under national social insurance that is largely unaffected by economic and monetary fluctuations ; they also help to reduce labour turnover and encourage productivity by establishing a close link between the future value of pensions and the prosperity of the firm. Moreover, the growth of these schemes is favourable to the national economy, for they make available large amounts of capital for investment and provide extra spending power for certain old-age pensioners. The study of supplementary pension schemes is complicated by the multiplicity of institutions and funds in existence, varying widely in size, membership, methods and administration. The aim here, therefore, is not to make a detailed analysis of these schemes but rather to bring out their economic importance and, taking for the most part typical schemes and arrangements as examples, to give a general picture of the different formulas employed.
