PublicationInsights from Switzerland's Pension SystemThis chapter takes Switzerland’s much praised three-pillar system to illustrate some of the challenges reforms to pension systems face in an aging society. It shows that policymakers are confronted by some individuals with behavioral anomalies and by others who strategically exploit the system. The trade-off between providing incentives and adequate retirement income limits policy options, especially if reformers do not want to impose too many restrictions on individual choice and wish to avoid excessive burdens on the young generation. Pension reforms can also be seriously challenged by political constraints, in particular, when voters have a direct say on proposed changes.Type: book sectionVolume: First edition

PublicationPayouts in Switzerland: Explaining Development in AnnuitizationSwitzerland is one of the few countries with long-term experience in withdrawal decisions made by retirees in fully funded pension plans. Switzerland is also atypical in its unusually high annuitization rates, and indeed, a majority of retirees covered by mandatory occupational pension plans chooses an annuity at retirement. This chapter revisits the historical role of occupational pension plans in the provision of old-age income, and examines the role of regulation in the payout phase. Recent developments in both market conditions and regulations are used to assess the impact of certain determinants of the annuitization decision, such as money's worth ratios, means-tested benefits, and behavioral factors.Type: book section
