Key messagesPension reform under an aging population is a world-wide reform agendaWithout deep structural reforms expenditure for public pension (and health) risk to derail fiscal policy for decades to comeSolutions for pensions (compared to health) are relatively straightforward and limitedYet to be successful, this requires parallel reforms in the labor and financial market, and beyond

RoadmapI. Demography: Aging and fiscal

drivers, options, and lessons?III. Labor Market: Key to solution but

how to keep the elderly employed?IV. Financial market: Funded pensions are

gaining importance but need a ready market

V. Conclusions and next steps

I. Demography: Aging and fiscal implications

All the world will experience severe aging over the decades to come, including the low income countriesIn Europe ageing is already well advanced and will continue due to fertility rates well below reproduction (around 1.4 compared to 2.1) and rising life expectanceCentral and South-Eastern Europe is expected to age even faster due to negative net-migration, and labor force may shrink by almost 1% p.a. till 2050Without further reforms, in some countries of the region public pension expenditure would increase by 6+% of GDP by 2050 (compared to reform countries)

II. Public Pensions: Reform DriversFiscal Pressure– Short-term pressure and consequences of un-sustainability: macro

instability and crowding-out of other social expenditure– Long-term pressure and aging of population (Annex table)

Need to align Systems with Socioeconomic Changes– Increase in life-expectancy and old-age pension– Increase in life-expectancy and disability pension– Female labor force participation, divorces and widow’s pensions

Challenges and Opportunities in Globalization– Reacting to shocks – the need of flexibility – Mobility across professions and countries– Financial Sector development – a crucial element to a absorb shocks

and to diversify risks

Pension Reform OptionsThe reform options for fiscal balance are limited– Higher contributions (or budget transfers)– Lower benefits– Later retirement: Splitting the gain in life expectancy

between more leisure and more work

Benefit design options, and trade-offs– Defined benefits (DB) or defined contribution (DC)

schemes– Balancing equity and efficiency (incl. incentives)

Funding options, and intergenerational re-distribution– Pay-as-you-go (unfunded) or pre-funding– (Some) funding helps, but no panacea against aging

Reform trends and lessonsMove toward multi-pillar scheme with– Zero pillar providing poverty alleviation for elderly– Reformed unfunded first pillar, with better contribution benefit link

and higher retirement ages – Often new second funded pillar (see annex table)– New/revamped voluntary and funded pillar

Country innovations– Notional Defined Contribution System to reform first (unfunded and

earnings-related) pillar (Sweden, Latvia, Poland, Italy)– Clearing house approach to reduce costs of funded schemes (Sweden,

Poland, Argentina, Croatia, and soon Chile?)– Transforming severance benefits into funded combined

unemployment/retirement benefits (Austria, Korea, Italy, Chile)– Introducing nation-wide voluntary schemes with opting-out option

(NZ, UK)

Toward harmonization/coordination of schemes across occupations, sectors and countries (for equity and portability reasons) – challenge for European Union

III. Labor Market ReformsNumber of jobs in an economy is not fixed– Fallacy of lump of labor– Withdrawing elderly from the labor market does

not create sustainable jobs for younger cohorts– With increasing life expectancy elderly want to

work longer, if they find a job– Job creation requires multi-sector approach –

MILES to go– Incentives matter for both labor supply and

retirement decisions, and labor demand by firms

Supply-side incentives to retire early

Insufficient (or non-actuarial) adjustment for early/delayed retirementHigh net-benefit level (replacement rate) that are typical for unsustainable schemesEarnings-test: Reduction in benefits while continue working Low minimum retirement ages (and social pressure to retire)Special early retirement programs, including for long-term unemployed and generous disability programsTax treatment of contributions and benefits

Keeping and creating demand for elderly workers

Addressing the productivity-wage gap for elderly– Moving the u-shaped productivity profile upward– Making wages more adjustable/reviewing the seniority

principleStrengthening life-long learning– Including training in wage negotiations– Creating flexibility across learning, working and

(retirement) leisureCreating mobility – Between sectors, countries and regions– Between different stages of family life and family

structures (e.g. child bearing, divorce)– Between positions/status across the life-cycle

III. Financial Market Reforms

Trend toward multi-pillar scheme and hence funded pensions will continue– By design - introduction of second pillar (e.g. Bulgaria,

Croatia, Macedonia, Slovakia, etc.)– By default/design – making the first pillar less generous

and supporting voluntary schemes (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Slovenia?)

In Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe the savers-/dis-savers ratio will increase for the next decade providing conditions for fundingYet the financial sector must be able to deliver adequate risk-adjusted rates of return and actuarially fair annuity products

Readiness of the Financial SectorGeneral readiness indicators include– Macroeconomic stability

– A sound financial infrastructure

– An adequate regulatory and supervisory capacity

– A government’ commitment for continue structural reforms

Countries in the region made main progress over last 15 years but more in banking than in non-banking areas (EBRD indicators in Annex)

Confirmed by more detailed readiness study for selected countries

Scaling-up for more and more diversified pension fund portfolio

Pension fund portfolio in the region still largely dominated by government bondsDiversification toward equity capital needed to deliver on return expectations– International diversification – but how much– Domestic share market – would it be able to

absorb additional 1% of GDP p.a.

How to develop investment opportunities in equity capital in a bank-based environment

IV. ConclusionsThe primary solution for pension and other social programs to address population aging is through higher labor force participation, in particular for elderly workersThis requires changes in worker’s incentives, such as benefit/contribution structure to stay in formal labor, and firm incentives to hire and keep elderly workersPension reforms will by default or design give more role to funded provisions. For pension funds to deliver the adequate rates of return will require major and sustained reforms in financial sector
