The SUSTAINABLE, ADEQUATE AND SAFE PENSIONS (SAS) PENSIONS PROJECT at UCLouvain (Belgium) organises a workshop on “Longevity Heterogeneity and Pension Design”.
In the matter of justice in pensions,
so far, longevity heterogeneity
has received little attention, despite its potentially strong
(anti)redistributive role. If rich individuals live longer, they draw pension
benefits longer than less wealthy people. In the US, we
observe significant differences across socio-economic groups, measured by
education, place of residence, income and occupation (Luy
et al., 2015; Bosworth, Burtless
& Zhang, 2016). What is
more, these differences seem to be on the rise.
Ceteris
paribus, this could
considerably erode the overall degree of intragenerational equity achieved via
public pensions.
