Fortalecimiento de los sistemas de pensiones con la seguridad social y la sostenibilidad en el centro: elementos para la discusión de reformas previsionales en América Latina a partir de la experiencia comparada

Autor: Badilla Espinoza, Juan Manuel
Año: 2023
Resumen: Los sistemas de pensiones en América Latina, en particular aquellos en los que se implementaron procesos de reformas estructurales tendientes a la privatización de la seguridad social durante las décadas de 1980 y 1990, no han logrado cumplir con uno de sus principales objetivos: otorgar montos adecuados de pensiones. Esta situación no solo es relevante al evaluar los resultados de los sistemas de pensiones que incluyen esquemas de capitalización individual, sino que toma mayor relevancia cuando se analiza con una perspectiva a mediano y largo plazo en el marco de debates y procesos de reformas. En el presente documento, con el que se busca contribuir al debate regional sobre reformas a los sistemas de pensiones desde distintas dimensiones, se incluye una revisión del contexto histórico, un análisis de los argumentos que llevaron a la privatización de la seguridad social y sus limitaciones, una propuesta para el marco de análisis de los sistemas, incluida la experiencia comparada de procesos de reforma para la implementación de modelos mixtos contributivos, y elementos de especial interés en el debate actual, como el papel de la capitalización, la igualdad de género y las pensiones no contributivas en los sistemas.

Social Protection in a World of Crisis: Learning from the Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus

Autor: Coll-Black, Sarah; Von Lenthe, Cornelius; Brodmann, Stefanie; Shaw, William; Sandford, Judith; Gonzalez, Alejandro; Rigolini, Jamele.
Año: 2023
Resumen: This paper explores the social protection response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine to learn lessons on how to build the resilience of their social protection system. These countries made substantial efforts to address the most serious consequences of the pandemic, pragmatically harnessing existing programs to reach vulnerable groups, while also introducing innovations to fill gaps in the existing social protection system. Rigidities in administrative systems, complex eligibility criteria, as well as weaknesses in information systems, limited governments’ ability to quickly identify and reach those households that were most vulnerable to the impact of the pandemic with adequate support. These challenges strengthen the case for investment in crisis preparedness – most immediately by improving the functioning of social protection systems and setting out the design features and delivery systems to support a response to future covariate shocks.

Finland: Financial Sector Assessment Program-Technical Note on Non-Bank Financial Intermediation and Pension Insurance Companies

Autor: Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI)
Año: 2023
Resumen: This note evaluates non-bank financial institutions (NBFI) as a sector in Finland, with a special focus on the pension insurance companies (PIC). The analysis was undertaken against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, and rising central bank interest rates in the face of a sustained inflationary surge and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. […] The FIN-FSA has limited resources for supervision of the PICs—who need regular on-site and off-site supervision of governance, investment and operations given their size. Updating the solvency regime would reduce the resources and complexity of short-term scrutiny of solvency. Resources should also be rebalanced from low-risk issues such as registrations and detailed technical advice on by-law changes for small non-PIC Pension Funds. FIN-FSA resources should have allowed deeper and more intensive supervision of a PIC with governance issues rather than only being significantly escalated after a provider triggered a solvency limit.

Built to Include: Reimagining Social Protection in the Middle East and North Africa

Autor: Ridao-Cano, Cristobal; Moosa, Dalal; Pallares-Miralles, Montserrat; Pinxten, Juul
Año: 2023
Resumen: People in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and around the word, are hurting. A polycrisis, including COVID-19 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has had—and is continuing to have—a devasting impact on living standards. But most countries in MENA were already struggling to reduce poverty and vulnerability before this cascade of shocks. This report argues that labor market exclusion is at the root of the problem. Many people cannot find jobs—MENA has the highest youth unemployment rate and the lowest women’s labor force participation rate in the world. And most workers are stuck in low-productivity informal jobs with no social protection. This makes them extremely vulnerable to falling into poverty when a shock hits—as the recent crises have pain- fully shown. Reducing labor market exclusion requires, first and foremost, a dynamic private sector that generates productive jobs. Our companion report on jobs in MENA, “Jobs Undone”, provides options to do that. How can social protection policies help? They can play a crucial role in reducing labor market exclusion, by facilitating access to productive jobs, protecting workers, and providing a safety net for people who are left behind and are at risk of poverty. And they should do so in an efficient manner, by ensuring financial responsibility and avoiding unintended consequences on decisions regarding work, retirement, and hiring.
