Since the 1990s reforms have changed substantially both the nature of state pension provision and the level of generosity. This article tries to assess the impact of these changes using estimates of pension wealth for a number of hypothetical cases. By focusing on all prospective pension transfers rather than just those at the point of retirement, this approach can provide additional insights, especially on the impact of changes in benefit indexation.These estimates corroborate existing evidence that reforms have decreased generosity significantly. Moves to link benefits to contributions have made systems less progressive, raising adequacy concerns for certain groups. The reforms have, in particular, strengthened the need of ensuring better access to labour markets, of having in place adequate crediting arrangements and minimum pensions.

“…In einer Vielzahl von Fachartikeln wurde auf die sozialpolitischen Probleme infolge der demografischen Alterung eingegangen. Häufig dokumentiert diese reiche Literatur Forderungen nach einer angemesseneren und tragfähigen Bereitstellung von Altersrenten (Holzmann und Hinz, 2005; Draxler und Mortensen, 2009; Holzmann, Robalino und Takayama, 2009), nach einem besseren Zugang zu einer Gesundheitsversorgung hoher Qualität (WHO, 2000; Ron, 2010) und nach einem besseren Zugang zu erschwinglicher und angemessener Langzeitpflege (Huber, Rodriques, Hoffman, Gasior und Marin, 2009). Darüber hinausgehend, betrachtet die sozialpolitische Literatur auch die Anstrengungen von Organisationen, um die Erbringung von Leistungen und Dienstleistungen zu verbessern (WHO, 2000; Accenture und IVSS, 2007; Hussein, 2008).…”

Auszug In den L ä ndern mit hohem Einkommen wurde die Besch ä ftigung im ö ffentlichen Dienst w ä hrend der 1970er-Jahre und noch zu Beginn der 1980er-Jahre rasch ausgeweitet. In dieser Phase war der Sozialschutzsektor einer der Bereiche mit dem gr ö ß ten Personalzuwachs. Viele der in diesen Jahren eingestellten Besch ä ftigten im ö ffentlichen Dienst sind bereits in den Ruhestand getreten oder werden dies bald tun. Infolgedessen werden die Beh ö rden der sozialen Sicherheit im gesamten OECD-Gebiet in einem relativ kurzen Zeitraum betr ä chtliche Anteile ihres gegenw ä rtigen Personals aller Besoldungsstufen verlieren. Trotz Appellen zu einer st ä rkeren Nutzung der strategischen Personalplanung und eines wachsenden Bewusstseins f ü r die problematischen Folgen der Personalalterung im ö ffentlichen Dienst haben die Organisationen im ö ffentlichen Dienst, einschlie ß lich der Beh ö rden der sozialen Sicherheit, bislang nur langsam reagiert.

“…Articles addressing the social policy challenges of demographic ageing are many. Frequently, this abundant literature witnesses demands for the more adequate and sustainable provision of old‐age pensions (Holzmann and Hinz, 2005; Draxler and Mortensen, 2009; Holzmann, Robalino and Takayama, 2009), for better access to quality health care (WHO, 2000; Ron, 2010) and for broader access to affordable and appropriate long‐term care (Huber, Rodriques, Hoffman, Gasior and Marin, 2009). In a more general sense, the social policy literature also takes into account the efforts of agencies to realize improvements in the delivery of benefits and services provided (WHO, 2000; Accenture and ISSA, 2007; Hussein, 2008).…”

An ageing workforce and strategic human resource management: Staffing challenges for social security administrations

Public-service employment grew rapidly through the 1970s and early 1980s in the high-income countries. During this period, the social protection sector was one of the areas that grew most extensively. Many of the public-service employees hired during these years have retired or are soon to do so.As a consequence, social security administrations across the OECD area are set to lose significant proportions of their current staff across all grades over a relatively short time-period. Despite calls for a greater use of strategic staff planning and a growing awareness of the challenges presented by an ageing public-service workforce, public-service organizations, including social security administrations, have been slow to react. This article addresses the human resource management challenges for social security administrations posed by an ageing public-sector workforce, outlines proposed policy responses and assesses the difficulties of successfully implementing these in a systematic manner.i ssr_1371 91..114
