Abstract

Die gestiegene Lebenserwartung - vor allem durch Rückgang der Sterblichkeit im höheren Erwachsenenalter - hat Auswirkungen auf verschiedene Einrichtungen und Maßnahmen sozialer Sicherung, insbesondere bei Krankheit und Pflegebedürftigkeit sowie im Alter. In verschiedenen Ländern wird als Reaktion auf die gestiegene Lebenserwartung sogar in jüngster Zeit der Versuch unternommen, Indikatoren der Lebenserwartung explizit in der Alterssicherung zu berücksichtigen. Der Beitrag beginnt mit einem knappen Überblick über wechselseitige Beziehungen zwischen Demographie und sozialer Sicherung. Anschließend werden einige Fragen im Zusammenhang mit der Entwicklung der Lebenserwartung erörtert, und zwar im Hinblick auf die bisherige Entwicklung und bezogen auf mögliche künftige Veränderungen. Dabei wird auch auf den Zusammenhang zwischen der Entwicklung von Mortalität und Morbidität eingegangen. Es folgt eine Darstellung von Auswirkungen veränderter Lebenserwartung in umlagefinanzierten Alterssicherungssystemen. Darauf aufbauend werden Reformoptionen in der Alterssicherung erörtert, mit denen auf fiskalische Folgen steigender Lebenserwartung reagiert werden soll. Dabei wird vergleichend auf Maßnahmen eingegangen, bei denen die Lebenserwartung im Zusammenhang mit der Rentenberechnung (wie u.a. jüngst in Schweden beschlossen), bei der Rentenanpassung und bei der Festlegung von Altersgrenzen berücksichtigt werden soll.
