Pensions at a Glance 2011 Pensions at a Glance 2011 RETIREMENT-INCOME SYSTEMS IN OECD AND G20 COUNTRIES The theme of this fourth edition of Pensions at a Glance is pensions, retirement and life expectancy. Many countries have increased pension ages in the face of population ageing and longer lives. Some have Pensions at a Glance introduced an automatic link between pensions and life expectancy. Improvements to the incentives to work rather than retire are also a common part of recent pension-reform packages. However, ensuring that there are enough jobs for older workers remains a challenge. 2011 An in-depth look at these important policy issues is provided by fi ve special chapters on: pension ages, retirement behaviour, pension incentives to retire, the demand for older workers and linking pensions to life RETIREMENT-INCOME SYSTEMS IN OECD expectancy. This edition updates information on the key features of pension provision in OECD countries and provides projections of retirement income for today’s workers. It offers an expanded range of 36 indicators, AND G20 COUNTRIES covering the design of national retirement-income provision, pension entitlements, incomes of older people, the fi nances of pension systems, the demographic and economic context in which pension systems operate and private pensions. More countries are analysed than in previous editions, including four new members of the OECD: Chile, Estonia, Israel and Slovenia. Where possible, data are also provided for the other major economies in the Glance2011 a at Pensions G20: Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russia, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. Along with data on the European Union’s 27 member states, this brings to 43 the number of economies covered in the report. About Pensions at a Glance... “An extraordinarily useful and careful compilation of pension information for a wide-range of countries, presented in a common format and following a thoughtful structure. The authors have brought cross-national pension comparisons to a new level, and they are to be commended for their intensive efforts. [This] represents some of the smartest comparative work out there, by people intimately familiar with the nuances – and complexities – of comparative pension work.” Olivia Mitchell, Director of the Boettner Centre for Pensions and Retirement Research, Wharton School, RETIREMENT-INCOMESYSTEMS OECDIN AND G20 COUNTRIES University of Pennsylvania.

FOREWORD Foreword This fourth edition of Pensions at a Glance provides an expanded range of indicators for comparing pension policies and the outcomes of these policies between OECD countries. The indicators are also, where possible, provided for new OECD member countries and the other major economies that are members of the G20. In Part I, five special chapters provide deeper analysis of the central issues of pensions, retirement and life expectancy. This report was prepared by the pensions team in the Social Policy Division of the OECD’s Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs. The team comprises Edward Whitehouse, Anna Cristina D’Addio and Andrew Reilly. National officials – particularly delegates to the OECD Working Party on Social Policy and members of the OECD pension expert group – provided active and invaluable input to the report. For OECD countries, the results of the OECD pension models have been confirmed and validated by national authorities. Chapter 1 in Part I on “Pensionable age and life expectancy, 1950-2050” was written by Edward Whitehouse. It is based on earlier work with Rafal Chomik of the Department of Work and Pensions in the United Kingdom while he was seconded to the OECD Secretariat. Anna Cristina D’Addio and Edward Whitehouse prepared Chapter 2 on “Trends in retirement and in working at older ages” and Chapter 3 “Pension incentives to retire”. Anna D’Addio, Mark Keese (of the Employment Analysis and Policy Division of the OECD’s Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs) and Edward Whitehouse wrote Chapter 4 “Helping older workers find and retain jobs”. Edward Whitehouse was responsible for Chapter 5 “Linking pensions to life expectancy”, the final special chapter in Part I. The indicators related to private pensions were mainly provided by the OECD’s private-pensions unit in the Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs: Pablo Antolín, Stephanie Payet, Jean-Marc Salou and Juan Yermo. The report has benefited from the commentary of many national officials and colleagues in the OECD Secretariat, notably John P. Martin, Monika Queisser, Stefano Scarpetta, Anne Sonnet and Fiona Stewart. It is a joint project co-financed by the European Commission and the OECD. The OECD pension models, that underpin the indicators of pension entitlements, use the APEX (Analysis of Pension Entitlements across Countries) models developed by Axia Economics.

We explore how both are linked with various pension reforms. To put the historical developments into context, the paper first describes the most salient features and reforms of the pension system since the 1960s. Then we show how mortality, health and labor force participation of the elderly have changed since the 1970. While mortality (as our main measure of health) has continuously decreased and population health improved, labor force participation has also decreased, which is counterintuitive.

  • The Social Costs of Health-Related Early Retirement in Germany: Evidence from the German Socio-Economic Panel by Gisela Hostenkamp and Michael Stolpe
    The Social Costs of Health-related Early Retirement in Germany: Evidence from the German Socio-economic Panel by Gisela Hostenkamp and Michael Stolpe No. 1415 | April 2008 1 Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Düsternbrooker Weg 120, 24105 Kiel, Germany Kiel Working Paper No. 1415 | April 2008 The Social Costs of Health-related Early Retirement in Germany: Evidence from the German Socio-economic Panel Gisela Hostenkamp and Michael Stolpe Abstract: This study investigates the role of stratification of health and income in the social cost of health- related early retirement, as evidenced in the German Socio-economic Panel (GSOEP). We interpret early retirement as a mechanism to limit work-related declines in health that allows poorer and less healthy workers to maximize the total discounted value of annuities received from Germany’s pay-as-you-go pension system. Investments in new medical technology and better access to existing health services may help to curb the need for early retirement and thus improve efficiency, especially amid population ageing. To value the potential gains, we calibrate an intertemporal model based on ex post predictions from stratified duration regressions for individual retirement timing. We conclude that eliminating the correlation between income and health decline would delay the average age of retirement by approximately half a year, while keeping all workers in the highest of five categories of self assessed health would yield a further delay of up to three years. Had this scenario been realized during our 1992–2005 sample period, we estimate the social costs of early retirement would have been more than 20 percent lower, even without counting the direct social benefits from better health.
