Company pension schemes: recent Ifo survey reveals stabilisation trends

Abstract

The eighth survey of the Ifo Institute on the situation of company pension schemes revealed that in west German manufacturing the share of employees who can expect a company pension has fallen again (from 65% to 64%). In the west German commerce sector, the share has stabilised at below 30%. In east German manufacturing the share of employees that will receive a company pension has risen from 10% to 16% since 1996, and in the commerce sector it has risen from 17% to 20%. Primarily economic problems have prevented, in general, a further expansion of company pension schemes. Financing company pensions via wage conversion will enhance the likelihood of further diffusion, but not all employees will choose this option because of the associated reduction in pay.
