Combating Ageism in the World of Work

Autor: Comisión Económica de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para Europa (UNECE)
Año: 2019
Resumen: Ageism is the stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination against people based on their age. Many older workers face ageism when looking for new jobs, training opportunities and career development or are pushed to leave into early retirement in times of economic recession. Ageism in the labour market is costly to businesses who do not make the most of their ageing workforce. At the individual level, ageism has been shown to negatively affect health and well-being. The complexity and intersectionality of the phenomenon needs to be addressed now. Deeply rooted stereotypes, prejudices and discriminatory practices take time to change. Combating ageism in the world of work requires removing ageist provisions in the legal and regulatory framework, addressing prejudice and negative stereotypes about older workers and encouraging age-inclusive and age-diverse workplaces that offer equal opportunities for all generations.

The Greek Pension Reforms: Crises and NDC Attempts Awaiting Completion

Autor: Nektarios, Milton; Tinios, Platon.
Año: 2019
Resumen: Greece’s current pension system relies almost exclusively on the state and remains staunchly pay-as-you-go (PAYG) and defined benefit (DB). This paper offers a radical proposal for change: (i) a new multi-pillar notional and financial defined contribution (NDC and FDC) pension system for all generations first insured after 1993, with contribution rates for primary pensions reduced by 50 percent; and (ii) a transitional system for those first insured before 1993. The proposal’s robustness is tested actuarially for the period up to 2060. Though financing the legacy cost would be challenging, the quantitative exercise indicates that a radical pension reform, especially if implemented as a part of an overall recovery package, could set the country on a more favorable growth trajectory.

Sistema de pensiones en Chile: Desafíos y opciones para avanzar en equidad de género

Autor: Benavides Salazar, Paula; Fernández Carter, Consuelo
Año: 2019
Resumen: La reforma al sistema de pensiones de 2008 representó un progreso muy relevante en materia de equidad de género, pero las brechas siguen siendo significativas y los nuevos desafíos, mayores. El aumento de la demanda por cuidados de largo plazo que se proyecta en las próximas décadas, de no mediar cambios, afectará desproporcionadamente a las mujeres y sus pensiones, ya que son ellas quienes asumen mayoritariamente esta labor no remunerada. Urge una respuesta que aborde con una visión integral los desafíos pendientes. Este documento reúne un conjunto de evidencias y diagnostica las brechas de género existentes dentro del sistema de pensiones, así como sus principales determinantes. Avanzar gradualmente en su reducción requiere una combinación de estrategias en las diferentes dimensiones que las originan. El aumento de la edad de retiro es necesario, pero insuficiente. En este contexto, se propone una respuesta más integral al problema, identificando un conjunto de alternativas de política, que han de ser consideradas conjuntamente para tal fin. La discusión de la reforma de pensiones en 2019 representa una buena oportunidad para dar pasos significativos en esta materia.

Drivers of the Gender Gap in Pensions: Evidence from EU-SILC and the OECD Pension Model

Autor: Banco Mundial
Año: 2019
Resumen: This paper explores trends and drivers behind the gender gap in pensions (GGP) in Europe, focusing on countries with notionally defined contribution (NDC) schemes: Italy, Latvia, Norway, Poland, and Sweden. Based on current gender gaps on the labor market, the paper relates the progressivity of pension systems and the coverage of child care related spells to the GGP. It shows that NDC countries do not stand out as a group compared to other European countries in terms of pension outcomes for women. Nevertheless, NDC countries differ significantly from one another. Choices of indexation of pensions in payment and survivors’ pension options have a strong impact on genderinequalities. Still, labor market differences are the most important driver of the GGP.

Pension Systems in East Africa: A Deep Dive

Autor: Banco Mundial
Año: 2019
Resumen: In this book, the authors share the East African story of pensions with the world. We have tried to give readers a perspective on the state of pensions within the EAC and contribute toward the development of the sector. We have also sought to provide practical advice to the business community that has embraced the opportunity to invest in pensions businesses across the region. We hope this publication will provide a useful guide not only to the history, but to the future of our pension systems. With well-thought through policies and robust implementation, we believe that East Africa can put in place pension systems fit for the 21st century and beyond. In so doing, the region can provide leadership and lessons for the rest of the world.
