Abstract

Un produit d'épargne retraite universel a été lancé en France en 2003, le Plan d'Epargne Retraite Populaire (PERP), dont l'objectif est de permettre aux ménages de compléter leur futur retraite. A l'aide de données issues d'une large enquête réalisée par TNS SOFRES en 2007 dont un volet porte sur les ménages détenteurs d'un PERP, nous montrons que ce produit s'est diffusé dans l'ensemble des couches sociales et touche en proportion aussi bien les cadres et professions libérales que les ouvriers ou les employés. L'âge des détenteurs suit approximativement une courbe en U avec une participation relativement plus importante des 25-34 ans et des 50-54 ans. Nous appliquons dans un second temps la méthode des résidus simulés pour obtenir des distributions de capital et de versements à partir des données en tranche fournies par l'enquête. Cela nous permet d'estimer le montant accumulé par les ménages de l'échantillon au moment de la liquidation de leur plan et d'évaluer ainsi quel supplément de ressources ces derniers sont susceptibles d'obtenir pendant la retraite en proportion du dernier revenu d'activité. Les résultats des simulations indiquent que la plupart des souscripteurs bénéficieront d'un revenu d'appoint inférieur à 1% de leur dernier revenu d'activité.###[English abstract: The French law called "Fillon Act", enacted on August 21st 2003, has created an individual saving contract called "PERP" (Plan d'Epargne Retraite) which objective is to supplement public pensions. It is a defined contribution scheme whith payments deductible from taxable income (up to 10% of the annual revenue). At retirement, benefits are paid in the form of annuities and taxed at a normal rate. We use a large dataset on saving behaviour of 9880 households in order to ascertain the profile by age, socio-economic status, levels of income, levels of wealth, and fiscal status of holders of at least one PERP. We show that this saving product has spread evenly in all socio-economic status and that the participation rate is most important for households whose head is 25-34 year old or 50-54 year old. We use simulated residuals to simulate continuous distribution of the PERP wealth and contributions, using bracket information available in our dataset. This allows us to project the future growth of assets in personal retirement plans until age 60 and to estimate the level of annuity that households will obtain after retirement. We find that most households are likely to benefit from a very small annuity, which is less than 1% of their last earning before the conversion of their plan.]###
