Abstract

In the context of the reform of defined benefit pension systems under population ageing, we focus on the introduction of automatic adjustment mechanisms linked to life expectancy. Our goal is to establish a relationship between changes in the key parameters of the pension system and changes in life expectancy, applying the principle of intergenerational actuarial neutrality. For a defined benefit pension scheme, we first obtain the fundamental adjustment equation and then, for particular cases, we derive different designs of automatic adjustment mechanisms depending on the involved parameter. We include a numerical application only for illustrative purposes. Dans le contexte de la réforme des systèmes de retraite à prestations déterminées qui font face au vieillissement de la population, nous nous concentrons sur l'introduction de mécanismes d'ajustement automatique liés à l'espérance de vie. Notre objectif est d'établir une relation entre les changements au sein de paramètres clés du système de retraite et ceux qui touchent à l'espérance de vie en appliquant le principe de neutralité actuarielle intergénérationnelle. Pour un régime de retraites à prestations définies donné, nous établissons dans un premier temps l'équation d'ajustement fondamentale puis dérivons pour les cas particuliers différents concepts de mécanismes d'ajustement automatique en fonction du paramètre impliqué. Nous avons inclus une application numérique à titre d'exemple uniquement. En el contexto de la reforma de los sistemas de pensiones de prestación definida ante el envejecimiento de la población, nos centramos en la introducción de mecanismos de ajuste automáticos vinculados a la esperanza de vida. Nuestro objetivo es establecer una relación entre los cambios en los parámetros fundamentales del sistema de pensiones y los cambios en la esperanza de vida, aplicando el principio de neutralidad actuarial intergeneracional. A partir de un sistema de pensiones de prestación definida, primero obtenemos la ecuación fundamental de ajuste y, a continuación, como casos particulares, derivamos diferentes diseños de mecanismos de ajuste automático en función del parámetro elegido. Se incluye una aplicación numérica sólo para fines ilustrativos. Im Kontext der Reform von Rentensystemen mit garantierten Leistungen, die aufgrund der Bevölkerungsalterung erfolgte, wird die Einführung automatisierter Mechanismen der Anpassung an die Lebenserwartung untersucht. Ziel ist es, anhand des Prinzips der versicherungsmathematischen Generationenneutralität eine Verbindung zwischen Veränderungen der wichtigsten Parameter eines Rentensystems und Veränderungen der Lebenserwartung herzustellen. Zunächst wird für ein Rentensystem mit garantierten Leistungen eine grundlegende Anpassungsgleichung erarbeitet, und dann werden für besondere Fälle verschiedene Formen automatischer Anpassungsmechanismen für die entsprechenden Parameter abgeleitet. Eine numerische Anwendung wird einzig zu illustrativen Zwecken angefügt. No contexto da reforma dos sistemas de pensão com benefícios definidos e do envelhecimento da população, destacamos a introdução de mecanismos de ajuste automáticos vinculados à expectativa de vida. A nossa meta é estabelecer uma relação entre as mudanças nos parâmetros essenciais do sistema de pensão por velhice e as mudanças na expectativa de vida, aplicando o princípio de neutralidade atuarial intergeracional. Para um regime de pensão com benefícios definidos, primeiro obtemos a equação fundamental de ajuste e, em seguida, para os casos particulares, auferimos os diferentes modelos de mecanismos de ajuste automático, em função do parâmetro envolvido. Incluímos uma aplicação numérica apenas para fins de ilustração.
