Trade-off entre los objetivos de los sistemas de pensiones en contextos de baja densidad de cotización. Un análisis de diseños alternativos en cuatro países de América Latina

Por Ignacio Apella & Gonzalo La reducida densidad de cotización es un problema relevante para los sistemas de seguridad social que genera tensiones sobre al menos alguno de los objetivos más relevantes, esto es, la cobertura, suficiencia o sostenibilidad financiera. El objetivo de este trabajo es aportar elementos para comprender como los diferentes sistemas manejan tales tensiones, analizando a su vez, el esquema de incentivos a la formalidad laboral que se genera. Para esto se estudian los sistemas de seguridad...

Sistema de pensiones en el derecho financie-ro en México: AFORE

Por Karina Jazmín Becerra Nolasco Para el sistema de pensiones de México, la reforma de 1997 fue un cambio que reformo toda la legislación proteccionista de seguridad social para los trabajadores. Sin embargo, es un tema completo, porque el sistema de financiamiento para la vejez es distinto al que se tenía en 1973, donde hablamos de pensiones solidarias, sustentadas por la formalidad del trabajo de los más jóvenes. Por esa razón, es importante explicar cuál es el proceso actual que...

La cultura financiera y su impacto en el ahorro en México

Por Jesús Soto Tenorio El dinero es parte importante de nuestras vidas y del día a día, ayuda satisfacer nuestras necesidades, pero es interesante hablar sobre que los ingresos que puede llegar a generar una persona no es ni siquiera suficiente para solventar sus gastos o generar un pequeño ahorro que a futuro pueda servirles cuando tengan que dejar de trabajar.

Pension Saving in a Gendered Lifecourse

By Hayley James Despite automatic enrolment in work pension schemes, private saving for pensions in the UK is relatively low, with most people under-pensioned in later life and reliant on the state pension. In this book, Hayley James shows that equally significant is that women save far less for old age than men. Indeed, her detailed research reveals the ways in which pension saving, as an everyday practice of finance, is shaped by gender and how this evolves over the...

When digital platforms enter informal sectors: work formalization and institutional change

By Isam Faik, Michelle Gwee, Felix Ter Chain Tan, Carmen Leong & Fithra Faisal Hastiadi Digital platforms are undermining long-standing formal institutions for the organization of work. However, when they enter informal sectors, they contribute to the opposite effect by increasing the formalization of work activities. In this study, we investigate this hitherto unexamined phenomenon by drawing on a case study of Gojek, one of the largest digital platforms in Southeast Asia. We identify three main mechanisms through which the...

Access to Pensions, Old-Age Support, and Child Investment in China

By Xiaoyue Shan & Albert Park This work studies how access to public pensions affects old-age support and child investment in traditional societies. Guided by predictions from an overlapping generations model, we analyze the influences of a new pension program in rural China, using a difference-in-differences approach. We find that the program crowds out transfers from working-age adults, especially men, to their elderly parents. Interestingly, the impact on child investment significantly differs by child gender. While adult parents increase educational investment...

The future of public pension provision in the UK: challenges and trade-offs

By Jonathan Cribb , Carl Emmerson & Heidi Karjalainen The UK state pension system faces significant challenges given the country’s ageing population, but at the same time it is crucial for retirement finances: state pensions make up on average almost half of income for recently retired households. Reforms coming into force in 2010 and 2016 have increased universality, and most future pensioners will receive a full (flat rate) state pension. Policy-makers seeking to limit the cost of the system have...
