<div><p>The Spanish post-crisis scenario of structural unemployment and job insecurity poses a new challenge to the public pension system: The trajectories of structurally precarious contributions, which carry the risk that future generations of retirees dispose of social protection levels considerably inferior to those of the current generations. The Spanish public pension system, already troubled by problems of sustainability, should be rethought in the context of a redefinition of the social security subsystem linked to the labor market.</p></div>

Social Security Scheme

The Swedish government policy on extended working life has since its introduction in the mid-1990s aimed to lower the costs of the public pension system and to reduce the financial burden for workers. By focusing on an idealised category of those who are "willing and able to work longer", the policy has neglected the obstacles faced by those with physically demanding jobs or with a big responsibility to care for a close relative. This mainly affects women and upholds a neoliberal view of older people. By only problematizing gender perspective on the challenges to gender equality in working life, a narrow understanding of gender equality is created which deviates from other national gender equality policies. The policy debate thereby contributes also to excluding older women and men from the Swedish gender equality project. Despite the argument that an extended working life is needed to ensure the value of pensions, this does not apply to those who are unable to continue working - they are instead expected to rely on the social security scheme.

Public Pension System

The current importance of public pensions is given by the fact that this is the main form of support for inactive or unemployed people.Through this article we aim to review, in a brief way, the evolution and particularities of public pension.In particular, we want to analyze the evolution of the number of retirees in the public system, of the average pension but also of the service pensions during the years 2010-2021, in order to identify some directions for improving the public pension system.

The Stability

In a Spain with full employment and less incapacity, dependence on the pension system would be less than half of what it is at present. For each dependent person there would be three contributors. Most experts say that the main threat to the stability of the pension system comes from demography. It is argued that population ageing would increase the ratio between pensioners and contributors, which would then make payment of pensions non-viable since there would not be enough working-age people to fund the rising pension pay-outs. However, less attention is paid to the fact that Spain presently enjoys robust demographic health since a large number of contributors is concentrated in the years of adulthood and the most productive period of working life, a fact which could be taken advantage of in order to fill the “piggy bank”. Yet despite this favourable demography, the pensions reserve fund is being depleted because of the economic recession. In this number of Perspectives Demogràfiques the extent of this demographic waste is demonstrated and the debate on pensions is taken beyond the framework of simply laying the blame on demography. First, we shall analyse the structure of the social security system, distinguishing between contributors, people receiving unemployment benefits, and pensioners in order to proceed with an exercise of simulation which will permit us to calculate what the ratio would be in a more rationalised economy.

Social Protection Systems

In Romania, the State Social Security Budget spending exceeds the revenues, and this situation leads to a growing deficit of the public budget. This evolution is the result of a complex of factors, more or less difficult to be managed, which we analyze in this article. The phenomenon of ageing has a significant role in increasing the pressure on the social protection systems, in general, and on the pension system, in particular. Also, the labour market related factors and the economic factors have an important impact on the sustainability of the pension system. The design of the pension system is equally important.
