Future of Work and Pension Design: Portuguese Pension System

Almeida, Pedro Miguel da Silva Santos

Abstract

The new forms of work, as such as Crowdworking and Freelancer jobs, driven by the technologies advances and globalization are introducing more frequent career breaks as well as higher variations on the worker's income which are incompatible with the current old-age protection system in Portugal. Most of the studies performed in Portugal are around the sustainability of the pension scheme and focus mainly on the parametric changes. Only a few studies are reflecting a redesign pension scheme like the Notional Defined Contribution (NDC) implemented in Sweden, Italy and Poland. The objective of this study is to propose a new design of a pension model within the new context of the future of work. The paper analyzes the impact of the future of work on the current Portuguese DB pension model and other existent pension models by simulating pension entitlements based on different career breaks and pensionable salaries oscillations. The results of the study confirmed the inadequacy of the actual Portuguese DB pension model for non-standard workers, and a worker with multiple breaks on the service could have a significant loss on the retirement pension entitlement. The study also confirmed that other standalone design models as the Notional Defined Contribution, Cash Balance, Defined Contribution, and the Systems Points would provide the same inadequacy levels for non-standard workers. We concluded that Beveridge and Bismarck's plans complement each other, and an optimal model within the future of work would have to be based on both characteristics of a Beveridge and Bismarck models with the same level of importance. The study shows evidence that moving away from the existing DB pension model to a multi-model, a first sub-model like a DB plan not linked to the contributive career - a Pure Beveridge model - with the objective of “redistribution” and “poverty relief”, and a second sub-model like a Bismarck plan (DC or Cash Balance type) with the objective of “consumption smoothing” and “insurance” would improve the adequacy and fairness of the pension retirement for the non-standard workers.

Indeed, hese wo ac o s we e he ini ia o s o challenging he sus ainabili y o pension schemes in Wes e n Eu ope, s a ing in he 1970s and onwa ds. The economic c isis in he 1970s, oge he wi h ongoing demog aphic al e a ions, had damaged se e al go e nmen budge s.

Based on Schuldi, he economic p essu e will be mo e se e e on he public pension schemes since he demog aphic changes will lead o massi e ageing o he popula ion om 2020 onwa ds.
