Uncertain demographics, longevity adjustment of the retirement age, and intergenerational risk sharing

Abstract

Under existing welfare arrangements, an increase in life expectancy may pose a serious threat to fiscal sustainability, and it may have dramatic effects on the intergenerational distribution of welfare. This paper finds that such effects may be countered through a policy which links the retirement age to changes in life expectancy.
