State Pension Scheme • Requirements: resident of state / 65 years • Pay-as-you go system • Defined benefit scheme • Payment flat-rate and depends on periods of insurance/ domestic situation. 2. Occupational Pension Schemes • Based on years of employment • Pay for own pension • Different forms 3. Private Benefit Plans: commercial insurance companies/ in own enterprise

Ageing in Dutch Pension System Our (possible) solutions for the ageing problem: • Lower benefit rates • Raise pensionable age • Pensioning age more flexible • Broader financing basis of the AOW • AOW income related • Reconstruction of early exit pathways • Fixed upper limit of AOW-premium • Saving Fund AOW • New Plan

  4. Hungarian Pension System Three pillars: 1. Mandatory public pension • Minimum pension at age of 62 after 20 years insurance. • Pay-as-you go system • Swiss-indexation 2. Private funds • Insured pay 6 percent of their gross income • Swiss indexation • Annuities / one- time lump sums • Supervision by HFSA + guarantee fund 3. Voluntary pension funds

  5. Ageing in Hungarian pension system • High level of inactivity on the labour market • Old-age dependency ratio increased Solutions: • 1998: • retirement age 62 • Reformed pension system (mixed system) • Channels of early exit where partially closed • Measures to keep older people active longer: • higher pension when you work longer • less job-protection
