Autor: Grupo Banco Mundial

Growing Pains: Is Latin America Prepared for Population Aging?

Autor: Figliuoli, Lorenzo; Flamini, Valentina; Mowatt, Rosalind; Puig, Jaume; Lambert, Frederic; Lissovolik, Bogdan; Galdamez, Misael; Li, Mike; Klemm, Alexander; Soto, Mauricio; Thomas, Saji; Freudenberg, Christoph; Orthofer, Anna

Resumen: This paper estimates the fiscal costs of population aging in Latin America and provides policy recommendations on reforms needed to make these costs manageable. Although Latin American societies are still younger than most advanced economies, like other emerging markets the region is already in a process of population aging that is expected to accelerate in the remainder of the century. This will directly affect fiscal sustainability by putting pressure on public pension and health care systems in the region that are already more burdened than, for example, in emerging Asia, a region with a similar demographic structure. A stylized cross-country exercise, drawing on demographic projections from the United Nations and methodologies developed by the IMF to derive public spending projections, is used to quantify long-term fiscal gaps generated by population aging in 18 Latin American countries.

Mongolia: Policy Options for Pension Reform

Autor: Dorfman, Mark Charles
Año: 2018
Resumen: This report evaluates the adequacy and sustainability of the Mongolian pension insurance scheme. It analyzes recent changes to pension parameters including amendments enacted in 2017 and early 2018. The report uses actuarial projections to assess the impact of changes, including the contribution rate and retirement age, on the fiscal costs of state subsidies to the scheme. The report finds that 2017-2018 changes including a discounted service buyback, reduction in herders’ retirement ages, and several supplements to service histories for herders and mothers will materially impact the sustainability and incentives of the scheme. It recommends several changes in parameters to limit the growth in fiscal costs and improve incentives. It also presents transition arrangements to smooth the impact of the reforms presented.

The Socpen and Its Role in Closing the Coverage Gap Among Poor Elderly Filipinos

Autor: Velarde, Rashiel B.; Albert, Jose Ramon G.
Año: 2018
Resumen: Since the formulation of the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) of 2010-2016, social protection (SP) has figured more prominently in the country's development agenda and in policy dialogs. The PDP for 2017-2022 continues the same emphasis on SP (National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), 2017a). For the first time, policies to achieve social protection for all Filipinos have been featured in the PDP, with the view to building resilience of Filipinos, their families and communities. Specific strategies include enhancing social protection for the informal sector, improving the social pension system, strengthening mechanisms to ensure enrolment in the social security system, expanding health insurance packages, establishing an unemployment insurance system, among others. Further, the PDP also highlights the requirements to address implementation issues on convergence, planning, mainstreaming of SP at the local level, including better M&E, collection and use of data.

Bangladesh: Improving the Administration of Civil Service Pensions

Autor: Grupo Banco Mundial
Año: 2018
Resumen: As part of a deepening engagement with the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) on the broader pensions agenda, this note analyzes and makes recommendations concerning the administration of civil service pensions. The national social security strategy (NSSS), was launched in 2015 and presented a comprehensive pension reform program towards a universal participatory pension system that is fully funded, covering the elderly and destitute, private sector salaried and informal workers, and public-sector employees. As requested by the GoB, this note supports efforts on this broader agenda with a focused review of the existing administration of civil service pensions, highlighting key areas for improvement. The study looks at the current civil service pension systems and processes, reviewing the use of information technology to transit employees from the payroll to the pension database and assessing the control environment for accounting, payment, and reporting of civil service pensions. Each section highlights key challenges and makes recommendations aimed at strengthening the system. Section one gives introduction. Section two considers civil service pension coverage, budgeting, and administrative arrangements. Section three is focused on improving processing and payment procedures. Section four considers measures to strengthen accounting and monitoring of civil service pensions, and section five concludes.
