España: Pensiones: un elefante blanco en el Consejo de Ministros

Submitted by dfabbri on

Cinco Días (22.10.2018) Las pensiones siempre han sido el gran problema financiero del futuro en España. Desde que en 1985 se hizo la primera reforma seria del sistema de la Seguridad Social para prohibir la compra de prestaciones y tratar de garantizar que nadie se llevase lo que no había puesto, el futuro se ha ido retrasando con sucesivos parches, pero ahora se ha echado encima y no bastan los milagros de sor Virginia. Se precisa una reforma integral del sistema de protección a la vejez para que el futuro, cuando llegue, sea el jardín de las delicias y no un conflicto continuo.

Life expectancy, Russia, pension ages

Submitted by dfabbri on

mercatornet (18.08.2018) A few weeks ago we blogged about the Russian government’s proposed changes to their national pension scheme. The upshot was that the age of entitlement was going to be raised and many people weren’t happy about having to wait longer until they can take their government money. The government’s defence was that people are living longer now than they were when the current pension ages (55 for women and 60 for men) were introduced over thirty years ago.

US: Young people want to retire by 60 but experts say that's unlikely

Submitted by dfabbri on

CNBC (14.08.2018) According to new research from Charles Schwab, which surveyed 2,000 young Americans aged 16 to 25, a resounding 76 percent think they'll have a better financial future than their parents. And they expect to retire, on average, at age 60. That's "seven years earlier than full Social Security benefit eligibility for their age bracket," the report notes.
