Pension • A regular income paid to a person following retirement from the service. • Paid in instalments • Pension systems exist to satisfy two main goals • to tackle poverty in old age by providing a minimum income • to smooth consumption over the life-cycle
Pension SCENARIO in Sri Lanka • Access to Approved Pension Plan, not more than 10% to 15% of total population • There are two major challenges facing the existing pension system in Sri Lanka: • coverage is low, with around 85% to 90% of older people unable to access a regular pension; and, • even for those who can access a pension, many find that the actual level of the benefit they receive is well below the poverty line. • If Sri Lanka is to be successful in tackling old age poverty, there needs to be a fundamental shift in pension policy.
