Abstract

An increase in pension age is one of the most common reforms to restore the financial sustainability of the pension scheme. However, this measure might damage individuals from lower socio economic groups who, on average, have shorter life expectancy. This paper aims to analyse to what extent a fixed reference career duration instead of a reference retirement age acts as an automatic balancing mechanism that contributes to strength the actuarial fairness/equity in the current public pension schemes and mitigate the inequality among different socio-economic groups.
