“…The assumption of independence is not only strong, but it can also be tested and so there is no need to just assume it. In a recent study, we extended the framework adopted in the papers mentioned above, allowing the probabilities of contributing to depend on the previous period status (Bucheli et al , 2006). But we still maintained the not very appealing assumption that the probabilities of switching between contributing and not contributing do not depend on duration in the state.…”

“…We use survival analysis to model the transitions between contributing and not contributing. Survival analysis allows us to adopt more flexible assumptions than those adopted in previous studies that used work history records in Latin America (Bertranou and Sanchez, 2003; Lagomarsino and Lanzilotta, 2004; Berstein et al ., 2005, 2006; Bucheli et al ., 2005, 2006; Bravo et al , 2006). We then use the transition rates to simulate the complete work histories of hypothetical workers using Monte Carlo simulations.…”

ResumenHistorias laborales incompletas y altamente fragmentadas amenazan con dejar a muchos contribuyentes de los regímenes de pensiones de América Latina sin la pensión mínima garantizada, o incluso sin acceso a la pensión (jubilación) común. En el presente estudio, se propone una metodología para evaluar este riesgo, identificar los grupos vulnerables y estudiar los posibles factores determinantes de las historias de contribuciones, utilizando la información de los registros de historia de laboral de las instituciones de seguridad social. Aplicando esta metodología sobre los registros de la principal institución de seguridad social del Uruguay, el Banco de Previsión Social, se obtiene que la mayoría de los contribuyentes de esta institución podría no cumplir con el mínimo de años de cotización requeridos actualmente para acceder a una pensión (jubilación) común al llegar a las edades habituales de retiro.Palabras clave: densidad de cotizaciones, historia laboral. Clasificación JEL: H55, J14, J26. AbstractIncomplete and highly fragmented work histories threaten to leave many contributors of the pension schemes in Latin America without the minimum pension guarantee or even without access to the ordinary pension. We propose a methodology to assess this risk, identify vulnerable groups and study potential determinants of the history of contributions using information from the work history records of the social security institutions. We apply this methodology to the largest social security institution of Uruguay, the Banco de Previsión Social, and show that the majority of contributors to this institution might not comply with the minimum number of years of contribution that is currently required to access an ordinary pension when they reach the retirement age.
