11 Voettekst van presentatie

• All OECD countries have programs to prevent poverty in old age

• 全ての OEDC加盟国は高齢時の貧困を防ぐための取り組みがなされている• Resource-tested or targeted plans benefit the poor• テスト年金や対象者プランは貧困層に便益がある

– The value of the benefit depends on income or income plus assets

– 便益は所得と所得に資産を足した額を元に算定• 6 OECD countries have resource-tested pension plans• OEDCの６カ国でテスト年金を実施

Pension Structure: OECD CountriesOECD 諸国の年金制度First Tier

• Basic pension schemes are either flat rate of depend on years of work

• 基礎年金制度は均一レートまたは就業年数をもとに算出– Never depend on past earnings– 過去の所得に準拠しない– Nor depend on additional income in retirement– 定年時の追加所得も考慮されない

• 13 OECD countries have a basic pension scheme• OEDC13カ国で基礎年金制度を実施


• Minimum pensions share many features with resource-tested plans

• 最低保障年金はテスト年金制度と似た特徴を持つ• The value of the entitlement is however solely based on

pension income• 給付額は年金所得のみに準拠

– Not affected by income from savings or assets– 貯蓄や資産といった所得には影響されない

• Minimum pension schemes are found in 16 OECD countries• 最低保障年金は OECD16カ国で実施


• Defined-benefit plans are publicly provided in 17 OECD countries

• 確定給付制度は OEDC１７カ国で公的に実施– Retirement income under such plans depends on the

number of years of contribution and on individual earnings

– この制度では定年退職時の所得は拠出年数と所得額をもとに算定• Private (occupational) DB plans are mandatory or quasi-

mandatory in 3 OECD countries• OECD3カ国にて私的（職業）確定給付制度は必須もしくは準必須

– The Netherlands, Iceland and Switzerland– オランダ、アイスランド、スイス

Pension Structure: OECD CountriesOECD 諸国の年金制度Second Tier

• Defined-Contribution schemes are mandatory in 8 OECD countries

• 確定拠出制度は OECD8カ国で必須• Contributions flow into individual accounts• 拠出は個人会計に

– Contributions and investment return are converted into a pension-income stream

– 拠出と投資リターンは年金所得に換算• Operated by the private sector• 民間部門が運営


• Notional-account schemes exist in 3 OECD countries• 国家会計制度は OECD3カ国で実施

– The public pension plans of Sweden, Italy and Poland– スウェーデン、イタリア、ポーランドの公的年金制度

• Contributions are recorded in an individual account• 拠出は各個人のアカウントに記録

– The accumulated notional capital is converted into a pension-income stream

– 積立てられた資金が年金所得に換算• “Notional” in that both the contributions made and interest rates

charged only exist on the books• 拠出と金利は会計簿上のみに存在する• Mimic the design of DC schemes• 確定拠出制度の制度設計を模倣




• Minimum pensions are found in 16 countries

• Basic schemes are also found in 13 countries– In Japan, Korea, the Netherlands and the

UK such schemes contribute to 40-60% of the total pension promise

• In Australia is the only country where the whole first-tier provision is means-tested

Pension Structure: OECD Countries

• The second tier accounts for 95% or more in more than half of the OECD countries– Because of high target replacement rates in the

second tier• In case of Austria, Italy, Poland, Spain and Turkey

– Because redistribution is carried out by the second tier

• Switzerland and the US

• There are no second tier, mandatory pensions in Ireland, New Zealand and the UK


• 23 OECD countries have public, earnings-related schemes– They tend to provide almost all of the benefits in Austria,

Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Turkey and the US

• Private pensions are mandatory or quasi-mandatory in 11 OECD countries– They rely on DB in Iceland, the Netherlands and

Switzerland– They are DC in most cases

• Private pensions account for 50% of the total mandatory pension package in Australia, Denmark, the Netherlands, Poland and the Slovak Republic


Pension Structure: Redistribution年金制度の構造：再分配Redistribution effects of defined-benefit, Pay-As-You-Go systems:確定給付、割賦制度における再分配効果• Intentional redistribution• 意図的な再分配• Unintentional redistribution• 意図的でない再分配• Intergenerational distribution• 世代間の再分配

Pension Structure: Redistribution年金制度の構造：再分配Intentional Redistribution　意図的な再分配

Three mechanisms　 3つのメカニズム :• Minimum Pension• 最低保障年金

– But individuals must contribute before they may receive this minimum pension

– 個人は最低年金を受け取る前に拠出する必要がある• Progressive benefits formula• 累進給付方式

– Indicates a declining replacement rate as income increases– 所得が上がるにつれ、 replacement rateが低下

• Front-loaded benefit formula• Front-loaded給付方式

– Where the first 10-15 years of service are awarded higher benefits– 給付開始後 10-15年間は高い給付額を支給– Raises incentive issues– インセンティブの問題

Pension Structure: Redistribution年金制度の構造：再分配Unintentional Redistribution　意図的でない再分配

Mechanisms:• Averaging period of wages• 賃金期間の平均化

– When it is less than the full career, redistribution is involved– 生涯給与より少ない場合に再分配– The shorter, the more redistribution from future workers to current

pensioners and to high-income pensioners– 期間が短いほど将来の加入者と高所得の加入者への再分配が増える

• Life expectancy differential between income classes• 所得クラス間の平均寿命の差

– Makes the system more regressive, since high income individuals tend to live longer

– 高所得者は長生きする傾向にあるため、制度が逆累進的に• Life expectancy differential between men and women• 男女間の平気寿命の差

– Causes an automatic redistribution from men to women– 男性から女性へ再分配

Pension Structure: Redistribution年金制度の構造：再分配Intergenerational Distribution：　世代間の再分配

• The redistribution effect in DB schemes tends to be larger between cohorts

• 確定給付制度における再分配効果は集団間で高い• DB schemes are rarely actuarially fair• 確定給付制度は保険数理上は公平でない場合が多い• Fiscal deficits are then fixed by raising

contribution rates and reducing benefits• 財政赤字は拠出レートの引き上げや給付の削減により調整

Pension Incomes and Old-Age Poverty

Pension policy-making involves balancing 2 objectives:年金政策の目的は以下 2つの課題の平衡化：

– Provide adequate levels of retirement income– 引退時の収入の確保– Ensure that pension incomes do not depart from

former living standards– 年金収入が現役時の生活水準と乖離しない

Incomes of Older People　高齢者の所得


• Important considerations regarding the interpretation of these results include:

• 考慮する上で重要な点：– Retirees do not have to pay costs associated with working– 定年者は働くことに関するコストを払う必要はない– Housing costs can be very different– 住宅コストが大きく変わってくる– Older people generally have greater financial assets– 高齢者は大抵の場合、資産が多い– A focus solely on cash income ignores the important role of in-kind

transfers– 現物支給を無視し現金収入のみを考慮


• Across OECD countries, “younger” old have higher incomes on average than “older” old• OECD 諸国では、「若い」高齢者の所得は「より高齢の」高齢者より高くなっている

– People aged 65-75 have incomes of about 86% of the population average– 65-75 歳の所得は平均賃金のおよそ 86 ％– People aged 75+ have incomes of about 78% of the population average– 75 歳以上の所得は平均賃金の 75 ％

Several reasons for this:理由としては：– Cohort or generational effects– 集団間や世代間の影響

• Real earning have been growing very rapidly• 所得が急速に増加

– Age effects– 年齢の影響

• Due to the way in which pension payments are indexed• 支給スライド

– Compositional effects– 構成上の影響

• Women predominate; tend to have lower pensions or depend on the provision of survivors’ benefits

• 女性が優位：　女性は給付額が低い年金に加入している場合や遺族年金に頼っている場合が多い• Richer people tend to live longer; means that widows at older age were generally married to

men with low pensions• 高所得者は長く生きる傾向に：高齢の未亡人は、給付額の低い年金に加入していた男性と結婚している場合が多い



• On average public transfers make up 60% of older people’s income in OECD countries

– Highest in France and Hungary– Just 15% in Finland (due to mandatory occupational plans)– Also low in Korea (pension scheme was only established in 1988)

• In Japan and Korea work provides a very large proportion of retirement income

– 44% in Japan and 59% in Korea– Probably reflects the fact that many people lack full contribution

histories

• Income from work accounts for less than 10% percent in France, the Netherlands and Sweden

• Income from capital plays the largest role in Australia, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden – accounts for 30% on average

Incomes of Older PeopleSources of Income



• 13,3% of older people (>65) are income poor on average in OECD countries

• One of the main drives of old-age poverty is the level at which old-age safety nets (first-tier schemes) are set

• Income inequality during working lives persists into retirement

Old-age Income Poverty


• The population poverty rate generally lies below the old-age poverty rate in OECD countries

• Older people are less likely to be poor than the population as a whole in 11 countries– Older people are least likely to be poor in the Czech

Republic, Luxembourg and the Netherlands

• Difference is particularly large in Canada, New Zealand and Poland


• Older women are generally confronted with higher poverty rates than men

• The largest differences in old-age poverty between men and women can be found in Ireland, Finland and Norway– Also large in Austria, Italy, Japan, The Slovak Republic

and the US

• Exceptions are Iceland, Luxembourg and New Zealand– Are countries with low overall poverty rates for older

people


• On average 27% of the people aged over 65 are working in OECD countries

• Working households at retirement age have much lower poverty rates

Old-age Income PovertyWorking Status

Public spending on services have an influence on the costs of living and thus on the amount of disposable income needed to survive








• The tax burden for older people (around 18% on average) tends to be smaller than the burden for people of working age (31% on average)

• 高齢者の税負担（平均およそ 18 ％）は現役者の税負担（平均およそ 31 ％）より低い• 3 main reasons• 3つの理由

– OECD countries’ income taxes are progressive– OECD 諸国の所得税は累積課税のため– Most OECD countries do not levy social contributions on pensioners– 殆どの OECD 諸国において年金拠出は課税されないため– Most OECD countries offer concessions regarding income-tax for either

pensioners or pension income– 殆どの OECD 諸国において所得税や年金加入者に対し concession（割引 /特権）を与えている

• The English speaking countries along with the Czech Republic, Germany and the Netherlands have the most progressive tax systems

• 英語圏諸国、チェコ、ドイツ、オランダの税のしくみはもっとも累積的

Taxes and Benefits for Older People　高齢者への税と給付 Taxes and Contributions

• Public transfers are a far more important source of income for people of pension age than working age in all countries– Public benefits on average make up 70% of the

gross incomes of older people and only 16% for people of working age

• Public transfers are more heavily targeted towards the old in Iceland, New Zealand, Switzerland, the UK and the US

Taxes and Benefits for Older PeoplePublic Cash Transfers

• Cash transfers to people of working age are generally more progressive than to people of pension age in almost all OECD countries

• OECD 諸国ほぼ全てにおいて、現役者への現金給付は年金受給者への現金給付より累積的に行われている• 23 of the 30 OECD countries have public, earnings-related pensions• OECD 諸国 30カ国のうち 23カ国において公的な所得に関連した年金制度を実施

– Pay higher benefits to people who enjoyed higher earnings in the past

– 過去に所得が高かった人は給付額が高くなる– Accounts for much of the difference between the redistribution– 再分配の差が大部分を占める

Taxes and Benefits for Older People高齢者への税と給付Public Cash Transfers　公的現金給付

Old-Age Incomes and Poverty:Overview

Empirical measure of progressivity– Negative in 6 countries

• Because coverage is high or near-universal in these countries

– Positive in 12 countries• Because benefits are strongly related to earnings

when working• Because many spent all or part of their lives working

in the informal sector

Taxes and Benefits for Older PeoplePublic Cash Transfers

The Pension Gap

The Pension Gap

• In many OECD countries lifetime retirement benefits have been cut due to pension reforms

• Implies significant rebalancing between public and private sector provision

• Today’s workers needs to save more, retire later or accept a lower income at old age

• The replacement rate is widely used to illustrate cross-country differences in pension systems

• replacement rateは国内の年金格差を現すのに使われる• The average gross replacement rate in OECD

countries is 59%• OECD 諸国の gross replacement rateは平均 59 ％

– 16 countries have replacement rates below this average – 16カ国でこの平均より低い

• The difference between the replacement rate from the mandatory pension system and the OECD average is called the ‘pension gap’

• 強制加入年金制度の replacement rateと OECD 諸国の平均 replacement　 rateとの差を「年金ギャップ」という

The Pension Gap　年金ギャップ



The required contribution rate is influenced by:拠出レートは以下の要素に影響される

– The pension age– 年金給付年齢– Life expectancy– 平均寿命– Incomplete contribution histories– 未払い期間

The Pension Gap　年金ギャップ

• For low earners, safety-net benefits tend to play a more important role– Can mean that they receive higher replacement

rates• Have an average replacement rate of 72%

– Ceilings on pensionable earnings can mean lower replacement rates for higher earners

• At double of average earnings, the replacement rate averages 50%

The Pension Gap

• High taxes on retirement income increase the need to contribute

• 定年時の高い課税が拠出の必要性をより高める• Taxes and contributions paid by workers increase the net

replacement rate• 労働者が納める税金や拠出が net replacement rateを引き上げる

– So reduce the need to contribute– 拠出の必要性が低くなる

• Means-testing increases the need to contribute for people affected

• Means-testingは（ Testされた人々への）拠出の必要性が高まる

The Pension Gap年金ギャップ

• Coverage of voluntary private pensions shows a hump-shaped relation with age

• 私的年金制度への加入は年齢層によりピークがある– At its peak at 35-44 or 45-54, depending on the country– 国によっては 35-44や 45-54 歳の層の加入が最も多い– Likely to fall at older working ages– 現役時代の後半になるにつれ、加入者は減少– Coverage is low for younger workers– 若年の労働者の加入は少ない

• Most people who do eventually have a private pension start contributing at the age of 30

• 30 歳くらいから私的年金に加入する人が多い• Besides, coverage of voluntary private pensions tends to increase

with earnings• 所得が増えると私的年金への加入も増加する傾向

– Coverage is low among the poorest, around 10-20%– 貧困層では加入が最もすくない（ 10-20 ％）

The Pension Gap　年金ギャップVoluntary Private Pensions　私的年金制度（任意）

• Evidence on voluntary contributions is only available for a few countries

• When accounting for missing contribution years, many countries experience a shortfalls in average voluntary contribution rates– Including Belgium, the Czech Republic and Germany

• Note in addition that many people will be contributing less than the average

The Pension GapVoluntary Private Pensions

Policies to stimulate voluntary contributions toprivate pensions include:

• Compulsion

• Soft compulsion

• Financial education

• Tax incentives

Pension Indicators The Benefit Side

• On average, workers earning half of average earnings receive a replacement rate of 72% in OECD countries

• OECD 諸国では一般的に、所得が平均賃金の半分の人は 72%のreplacement rateを受け取る– For average earnings this rate is 59%– 平均賃金の人の replacement rateは 59%

• In 9 countries replacement rates for average and low-average workers are the same

• 以下の９カ国では平均賃金の人もそれ以下の人も同じ Replacement rate– Austria, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, the Slovak

Republic, Spain and Turkey• Three countries provide low earners with pensions equal to former

earnings or above• 以下の 3カ国では低賃金の人もそれ以上の人も同レベルの Replacement

rate– Denmark, Iceland and Luxembourg

• On the other spectrum, Germany and Japan offer replacement rates to low earners of 43% and 47% respectively

• ドイツでは 43%、日本は 47%の Replacement rate

Gross Replacement Rates



• The average gross replacement rate for high earners in OECD countries is 54,3%

• Replacement rates for high earners are relatively high (>80%) in Greece, Iceland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain and Turkey

• They tend to be low for Ireland, New Zealand and the UK, at 26%

Gross Replacement Rates

• Are defined as the individual net pension entitlement divided by net pre-retirement earnings– Personal income taxes and social security contributions

are accounted for

Replacement rates however only measure the level of benefits at retirement

Net Replacement Rates



Gross Pension Wealth 総年金資産• Is a measure of the ‘stock’ of future flows of

pension benefits• 年金給付のフローの「ストック」としての算定方法• Accounts for replacement rates, life expectancy,

retirement age and indexation• Replecement、平均寿命、定年年齢、スライド方式による • Captures the link between affordability and life

expectancy• その年金がどの程度加入可能かや、平均寿命との関係を明らかに


• On average gross pension wealth in the OECD countries is 9,3 times individual earnings

• Pension wealth is highest in Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Greece an Ireland

• It is lowest in the UK followed by Mexico

Gross Pension Wealth

• Higher replacement rates for low earners indicate higher pension wealth for low earners

• 低賃金の Replacement rateが高い場合、年金資産は低い• In countries with shorter life expectancies the pension promise becomes

more affordable• 平均寿命が短い国では、年金保障がより実現可能

– Since women’s life expectancy tends to be higher, their pension wealth tends to be higher as well

– 女性の平均寿命は男性より長い場合が多いため、女性の年金資産も大きい場合が多い• Pension wealth is also affected by age• 年金資産は年齢にも影響される

– Retirement ages above 65 reduce pension wealth– 65 歳以上で定年になると年金資産も減る

• Finally, indexation has an influence• 物価スライド方式も総年金資産に影響

– Most OECD countries index pensions to prices– ほとんどの OECD 諸国では年金は物価にスライド– Some do however according to earnings– 賃金に影響する国もある– These tend to grow faster than prices, which increases pension wealth– 物価よりも早く成長するため、年金資金が増加

Gross Pension Wealth

• Will always be lower than gross pension wealth if there is some tax liability during retirement

• 定年時に納税の義務がある場合、総年金資産よりも低くなる• Will be the same as gross pension wealth if

pensions are not taxed or the pension income is below the tax threshold

• 年金が課税されない場合や課税対象所得水準に満たない場合は総年金資産と同じ

Net Pension Wealth　純年金資産

• Rankings of pension wealth change significantly when measured on a net rather than a gross basis

• Pensioners of the 5 Nordic countries, Austria, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands face a substantial tax burden

• Low earners would not be liable for taxes in 10 countries– In other countries the burden would be very small

Net Pension Wealth

Pension IndicatorsThe Contribution Side


• A third of the OECD countries saw pension contribution rates unchanged

• Significant increases are found in Czech Republic, Canada and Korea

• Cuts in contribution rates in Japan, the Slovak Republic and Spain

• To reduce labor taxes to increase employment

Pension Contributions Rates

• Most OECD countries have ceilings on pension contributions

• 殆どの OECD 諸国では年金拠出に上限を設けている• Others have floors on contributions• 最低額を設けている国もある• Some countries’ revenues are affected by the

size of the informal sector• 非公式セクターの規模が国の歳入に影響を与えている国もある

Pension Contributions Rates　年金拠出額

• Public revenues from pension are highest in Italy– Low in Turkey and Canada

• On average, employee contributions raise 1,8% of GDP and employers’ contributions 2,9%

• Employees pay on average 36% of the total contributions and employers 58%– In many instances passed, in part or fully, onto workers– Lower wages, less jobs

• However, in many countries contributions are balanced equally between employees and employers– Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Japan, Switzerland and

the US

Pension Contributions Rates


• Public pension spending is well above 10% of GDP in some OECD countries

• 以下の OECD 諸国では GDPの 10% 以上を公的年金制度に使っている– Italy, Austria, Germany, Greece and Poland

• Korea and Mexico spend around 1,5% of their GDP on public pensions　韓国とメキシコは 1.5 ％– Korea – pension scheme was only introduced in 1988– 韓国：年金制度は 1988年に始まったばかり– Mexico – low coverage– メキシコ：適用範囲が狭い

• In some OECD countries, public pension spending is low because of mandatory private pensions

• 強制加入の私的年金があるため、公的年金への支出が少ない国もある– Especially important in case of Switzerland– 特にスイスの場合、重要

Expenditures on Old-Age and Survivors’ Benefits　高齢者と遺族年金給付への支出

• Important to note that old age support is not limited to cash benefits

• 高齢者支援の形態は現金給付に限らない• Most important are housing benefits and

subsidies• 住宅補助などが最も重要• These are particularly important in the 5 Nordic

countries, the Netherlands and the UK• こういった支援は、北欧 5カ国、オランダ、イギリスで特に重要

Expenditures on Old-Age and Survivors’ Benefits


• Coverage of voluntary personal pensions is generally low• 一般的に私的年金の適用範囲は狭い

– Highest in Germany (44%) and the US (35%)– 最も高いドイツで 44 ％、アメリカで 35%

• This is because demand for private pensions is mainly met by occupational plans

• これは職業プランが私的年金の需用を満たすことが多いため– These tend to ‘crowd-out’ demand for personal provision– こういった理由が私的年金加入の必要性を「締め出す」場合が多い

Coverage of Private Pension Schemes私的年金の適用範囲Voluntary　任意

• Coverage of voluntary private pensions is highest (>55%) in Belgium, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Norway, the UK and the US

• Occupational plans are the only or main provider of private pensions– Voluntary in the sense that employers are free to set

them up and employees are free to join them

• Two-third of the people with personal plans have an occupation pension as well

Coverage of Private Pension SchemesVoluntary

• Coverage of voluntary personal pensions is generally low– Highest in Germany (44%) and the US (35%)

• This is because demand for private pensions is mainly met by occupational plans– These tend to ‘crowd-out’ demand for personal
