Abstract

Trotz der sozialpolitischen Bedeutung, die der betrieblichen Altersvorsorge (bAV) seit den Rentenreformen der Neunziger- und Zweitausenderjahre zukommt, werden die unvollständige Evidenzlage, Intransparenz und fehlende Datengrundlagen in den letzten Jahren regelmäßig bemängelt. In diesem Beitrag fassen wir die vorhandenen Datenquellen und den aktuellen Wissensstand zur bAV in Deutschland zusammen. Vor dem Hintergrund der zunehmend wichtigen Rolle der betrieblichen Altersvorsorge für die Einkommen im Alter, sollte die Evidenzlage verbessert werden, besonders um mögliche sozialpolitischen Handlungsbedarf abzuschätzen. Für die Bewertung der aktuellen Ersparnisbildung und der Abschätzung künftiger Alterseinkommen sollten der Ausgangspunkt der Analysen Individuen bzw. Haushalte sein. Da Survey- basierte Daten jedoch die bAV Abdeckung tendenziell untererfassen, da Personen oft schlecht über ihre bAV Ansprüche informiert sind, sollten umfragebasierte Daten mit administrativen Daten kombiniert werden. Bestehende Datenlücken sollten dringend z.B. durch die Erfassung zusätzlicher Größen in bestehenden Datensätzen geschlossen werden. Außerdem sollte der Zugang von Wissenschaftler:innen zu Datenquellen erleichtert werden.
