Abstract
[eng] The Redistributive Effects of Pension Systems in Europe . Pension systems differ across European countries according to various characteristics. But every one operates some redistribution within cohort. This paper analyses the comparative intra- generational redistributive performances of public pension transfers using data from the Luxembourg Income Study. The analysis shows that there is wide variation among the countries but that these differences can be explained by the characteristics of the systems. It is also shown that redistribution does not occur the same way among subgroups of population and that older women are the less favoured by the pension systems. [fre] Les systèmes de pensions varient d'un pays à l'autre de l'Union européenne selon différentes caractéristiques. Mais tous effectuent une certaine redistribution au sein des cohortes d'individus. Cet article compare les performances redistributives intragénéra- tionnelles des transferts de pensions publiques en utilisant les données du Luxembourg Income Study. L'analyse montre qu'il existe une grande variabilité entre les pays mais que ces differences peuvent être expliquées en partie par les caractéristiques propres aux systèmes. Il est aussi démontré que la redistribution ne favorise pas l'ensemble de la population retraitée de la même manière et que les femmes les plus âgées constituent la catégorie la moins favorisée.
