book
The 2019 edition of Pensions at a Glance highlights the pension reforms undertaken by OECD countries over the last two years. Moreover, two special chapters focus on non-standard work and pensions in OECD countries, take stock of different approaches to organising pensions for non-standard workers in the OECD, discuss why non-standard work raises pension issues and suggest how pension settings could be improved.This edition also updates information on the key features of pension provision in OECD countries and provides projections of retirement income for today’s workers. It offers indicators covering the design of pension systems, pension entitlements, the demographic and economic context in which pension systems operate, incomes and poverty of older people, the finances of retirement-income systems and private pensions.

  • Poverty rates of people 65+ is higher than the average, in a number of #OECD countries, but not in others [@stescarpetta] 
  • Growth in employment rates of #OlderWorkers has been strong over the last 2 decades, far outpacing the rest of the working age population [@OECD_Social] 
  • DidYouKnow? Women get 25% lower #pensions than men, mainly due to shorter careers, fewer hours worked and lower wages [@OECD]
  • In #TheFutureOfWork more people are likely to be self-employed; yet on average, future pensions for them are expected to be substantially lower than for employees [@stescarpetta]
