  1. Challenges for sustainable social security

  2. Subjects • Important trends from the past • Individualism & diminishing solidarity • Graying society • Concepts for development

  3. Important trends from the past Societal: • Less marriages • More divorces • Smaller families • And…. Labour market • Growing average income • Higher participation rate • More temporary employment • More self-employed • More part-time employment • End of one-employer careers • More flexibility • Greying work force

  4. Marriage & divorce

  5. Average household size 1980 - 2005

  6. More societal characteristics (Western-Europe) Single parenthood increased Age segregation: • Culture • Housing • Care Criteria for “ageing” remained unchanged, despite increased life expectancy and health Age discrimination (labour market) Orientation on individual rights, rather than on households

  7. Growing average income

  8. Employment related indicators

  9. More on flexibility Life Long Learning widely accepted Employability widely applied End of “one-employer careers” • Example from my family Future end of one-occupation careers Growing self-employment Self-employed pay a high price during crises… Some occupational pension schemes (based on outdated concepts) hinder development of employability (military services, firemen etc.)

  10. Ageing Europe

  11. Dependency ratio Number of people aged 0 to 14 and 65 years and older Number of people aged 15-64 Dependency ratio: X 100

  12. “Real dependency ratio”

  13. People in EU are getting older (life expectancy) • Number and share of people > 64 increases • In particular people > 80 Population EU is growing older (median age) Population 15-64 decreases Substantial cost effects arise: • Labour market shrinks • Less productive workforce • Rising sick leave, unemployment benefits & disability pensions • Number of old-age pensions • Duration of old-age pensions • Health care costs • Long term care costs • Participation rate of older workforce is lower

  14. Agerelatedexpendituresfor Pensions, Health Care, Long term care, Unemploymentbenefits and Education – % GDP - nochange scenario

  15. Measuring the ‘cost of ageing’: common long-term budgetary projections GDP Total age- related spending Pensions National models Labour force • Participation • Employment • Unemployment Population 2004-2050 Health care Labour productivity Long-term care Real interest rate Education Unemployment benefits

  16. Measures to consider Preventive measures: • Increase participation rate • Increase average working hours (decrease part-time rate) • Immigration • Reduce sick leave, age-related unemployment and disability pension • Retirement age (relate to life expectancy) • (make babies?.... Fast!)

  17. Measures to consider Defensive measures: • Reduce pension & social benefit levels • Stop occupational pension schemes • Reduce (social) benefits duration • Reduce health care benefits • Close (instead of build) long-term care facilities • (Reduce health care innovation) • (Stop resistance against voluntary euthanasia)

  18. Measures to consider Investments: • Culture change: re-value family • Health promotion (smoking, alcohol, weight, exercise,) • Culture change: really life-long learning and changing • (modular) education & training • (assistive) technology • Flexibility rewarding social security systems

  19. Group assignment What can be done to deal with the possible higher expenditures due to an ageing society? What kind of investments are thinkable to deal with the effects? Are there other measures to consider? • Assess the suggested measures and consider whether they can be a solution for: • (current) EU countries • Turkey • Motivate your answers 25 min. group discussion, 10 min. preparation report, 5 min. plenary report, 20 min. plenary discussion

  20. Examples of possible cost-reduction / awareness

  21. Examples of possible cost-reduction / awareness

  22. Turkey Gradually diminishing 0-14 population Increasing population 15-64 (+11 million) In 2050 4 x more people > 65 (4.5 million > 18 million)

  23. Group assignment What are the Turkish challenges? Are there opportunities for Turkey related to the European developments? If so, what? Is there a specific role for the Turkish social security to deal with these challenges and/or opportunities? Please specify Are there other essentials? Please include: participation rate, unemployment, educational attainment, family life etc. in your considerations. 30 minutes group work 10 minute presentation Concluding discussion
