Abstract

The main objective of this article is to determine, based on internal data, replacement rates for a defined benefit pension system, with two aims: the adequacy of pensions – measured in terms of the expenditure of retirees – and the sustainability of the system. For this purpose two instruments are used: the internal rate of return, and techniques based on systems of notional accounts. These figures, derived from internal data, will serve, by comparison with the replacement rate of the system, to assess whether the system tends more towards adequacy or sustainability. The system studied is that of Spain. Cet article vise principalement à déterminer, à partir de données internes, les taux de remplacement d’un régime de retraite à prestations définies permettant de répondre au double objectif de l’adéquation des pensions – mesurée en fonction du niveau de dépenses des retraités – et de la viabilité du régime. Pour ce faire, deux instruments sont utilisés: le taux de rendement interne du régime et des techniques basées sur les systèmes de comptes notionnels. Ces éléments chiffrés, obtenus à partir de données internes, permettent, par comparaison avec le taux de remplacement effectif du régime, de déterminer si ce dernier est davantage orienté vers l’objectif de l’adéquation ou vers celui de la viabilité. Cette étude s’appuie sur le régime de retraite espagnol.
