3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Back o index This counry fiche was presened o he Ageing Working Group (AWG) on 28 h Ocober 2014 and has been endorsed by he Economic Policy Commiee. Is resuls shall be included in he Ageing Repor 2015 (AR2015). From he Ageing Repor 2012 (AR2012) major revisions on he raio of projeced pension expendiure o GDP have been observed. The AR2015 expecs expendiure o be fla, going from 12.1 o 11.2 p.p. of GDP, whereas he AR2012 expeced an increase from 10.4 o 13.7 p.p. In oher word he change in his raio beween 2013 and 2060 has dramaically dropped, from a projeced increase of 3.3 p.p. o a projeced decrease of 0.9 p.p., which represens a moderaion in he growh rae of pension expendiure of 4.3 p.p. The reasons behind his change are relaed boh o he change in underlying assumpions and o he 2013 reforms. Regarding he change in macroeconomic and demographic assumpion i is remarkable he significan upwards correcion of he expendiure o GDP raio for he base year 2013, from 10.4 o 12.1 p.p., which reflecs a noiceable downwards revision of he 2013 GDP. The oher grea macroeconomic adjusmen sems from he updae in he populaion projecion of Eurosa, EUROPOP2013. Eurosa now projecs he overall populaion of Spain o be sable hroughou he projecion period a around 46 million peopl compared o an increase of approximaely 6 million in he previous projecions. This correcion is mainly explained by he negaive levels of ne migraion expeced in he firs decade of he projecion, which reverberaes hrough he enire projecion horizon, yielding a lower labour force and a lower GDP level in he AR2015. The old age dependency in he AR2015 is higher han in he AR2012 beween 2013 and 2050, going from 27% o 63% in However, in he las decade he projeced annual inflows of migrans progressively recover o AR2012 level and consequenly he dependency raio in he AR2015 iniiaes a downwards pah, so ha by he end of he projecion he old age dependency raio is 53%, below ha in he AR2012 (56%). In sum, his evoluion of he dependency raio pus upwards pressure in expendiure during he period , bu downward pressure hereafer. I is also imporan o noe ha unemploymen suffers a shaper reducion in he AR2015 han in AR2012 becaus alhough in 2060 he unemploymen rae (15-74) level is approximaely he same (7%), he saring poin in he AR2015 (26%) is much higher han in he AR2012 (20%). All facors aken ino accoun, he change in assumpions increases he expendiure o GDP raio by 0.1 p.p. in Wih respec o he 2013 reform hey comprise hree main measures: sricer condiions for earlier reiremen, a susainabiliy facor and a new index for pension revaluaion (IPR). The hree combined generae savings amouning o 2.6 p.p. by By limiing eligibiliy condiions and esablishing siffer penalies for early reiremen, he expendiure o GDP raio migh decrease by 0.2 p.p. in The susainabiliy facor, which auomaically adjuss he benefi of new Social Securiy reiremen pensions o developmens in life expecancy from 2019 onward provides addiional savings of 1 p.p. by Finally, he IPR, which links he revaluaion of every kind of pension o aaining a srucural financial balance of he Social Securiy sysem, moderaes spending by a furher 1.7 p.p. by The European Sysem of Naional Accouns (ESA) 2010 was inroduced from Sepember As decided by he AWG, Member Saes do no need o be updae heir pension counry fiches o reflec he new naional accouns. The Commission services will incorporae he ESA2010 revision by updaing he GDP series for he base year (2013), and by applying he previous growh raes of boh GDP and he pension projecions from 2013 onwards hroughou he projecion horizon. 3

4 I. OVERVIEW OF THE PENSION SYSTEM I.1. Descripion Back o index a) The public sysem is based on wo schemes: an earnings-relaed social securiy scheme and a non-earnings relaed basic scheme. In his projecion exercise he earnings-relaed pensions (including complemens o reach he minimum pension) and he old-age nonearnings relaed pensions have been considered. - The earnings-relaed social securiy scheme is a mandaory pays-as-you-go public sysem and consiss of wo pars. The Social Securiy manages he main par, whose expendiure amouned o 10.8% of GDP in I covers he self-employed, he employees in he privae secor and par of he employees a he cenral, regional and local public adminisraions. The miliary and par of he cenral, regional and local governmen employees have heir pensions direcly managed by he cenral governmen (Clases Pasivas del Esado, CPE). Is expendiure amouned o 1.2% of GDP in I has been closed o new enrans as of All new civil servans since hen join he Social Securiy sysem. In 2013, employees under his sysem were around 930 housand persons and hey will be declining hroughou he projecion period driven by reiremen and moraliy. CPE also includes non-earnings relaed war pension amouning o less han 0.04% of GDP in Pensions from he Social Securiy are financed by conribuions (from employer employee self-employed and par of he unemployed 1 ) and by sae ransfers o finance minimum pension complemens. Pensions from he CPE sysem are financed by conribuions from he employees and from direc paymens of he cenral governmen. Pension benefis are axed as labour incom excep some disabiliy pensions (absolue permanen and grea disabiliy pensions). Compulsory social conribuions are excluded from he income ax base. - The non-earnings relaed basic scheme is graned, as a general rul o people wih income below a hreshold se every year in he Budge Law (annual in 2013 for he basic amoun). The benefi is means-esed and no previous conribuion is required. I is quaniaively of less imporance (0.1% of GDP for old-age pensions). b) Privae pensions are volunary (non-mandaory), supplemenary and cover boh individual and occupaional pension funds (48.3% individual and 51.7% occupaional of oal privae pension funds asses in 2013). Occupaional pensions include occupaional plans and collecive pension insurance plans (wih reiremen benefi purposes). Privae plans are funded and mosly defined-conribuion schemes. Occupaional privae pension schemes are agreed in he wage bargaining framework. They are usually financed by employers and employees. Privae pension benefis are also axed as labour income. Conribuions o privae pension plans enjoy a favourable ax reamen following he ETT principle (Exemp conribuion Taxed invesmen income and capial gains of he pension insiuion, Taxed benefis) wih he excepion of collecive insurance ha does no enjoy ax exempions. 1 All unemployed receiving benefi and subsidies if aged over 55. 4

5 I.2. Main pensions formulas 2 Back o index The calculaion mehod for pensions managed by he Social Securiy is earnings-based. The reference model used in he Ageing Repor 2012 (AR2012) ook ino accoun he 2011 pension reform (Law 27/2011), which is enering gradually ino force. a) Reiremen pensions: In order o be eligible for a conribuory reiremen pension 15 year of conribuions need o be recorded, and a leas 2 of hese in he las 15 years before he sauory reiremen age. The sauory reiremen age will gradually increase from 65 in 2012 o 67 in Workers wih conribuory careers of more han 38.5 years are allowed o reire a 65 wih a full pension. The pension benefi is calculaed as a percenage of he pensionable earning he regulaory base (RB). The RB is he average of las years conribuion bases. The period used o calculae pensionable earnings will gradually increase from he las 15 years o 25 years (by 2022). By 2022 he RB will be he average of he conribuion bases (CB) of 300 monhs prior o reiremen (divided by 350). The conribuion base (CB) is essenially he monhly earned income wihin hresholds (he lower bound depends on he occupaional caegory of he worker and he upper bound is he same for all workers). CBs corresponding o he 24 monhs jus prior o reiremen are compued in nominal erms. The remaining CBs are updaed according o he evoluion of he Consumer Price Index. Conribuion breaks are filled less generously han in he pas. The 48 mos recen monhs are compued using he minimum CB, and all he previous monhs using 50% of he minimum CB, insead of 100% of he minimum base. The conribuions o GDP raio is kep consan as behavioural changes are no modelled, alhough i mus be noed ha increasing he pensionable period in previous reforms (from 2 o 8 years in 1985 and from 8 o 15 years in 1997) incenivised longer conribuory records. In any cas a conribuion increase would no affec significanly he Social Securiy balance over he long run since i would be compensaed aferwards by a higher average pension. The percenage applied o he RB varies from 50% wih a minimum of 15 years of conribuion o 100% (increasing from 35 years in 2012 o 37 by 2027 wih he 2011 reform). The percenage applied o he RB also depends on penalisaions for early reiremen and premiums for lae reiremen. There are minimum and maximum conribuory pension benefis 3. Minimum pension complemens canno exceed he minimum non-earnings relaed pension (annual 5,108 in 2013 for he basic amoun). b) Lae reiremen: The 2011 reform increased premiums for lae reiremen: +2%, +2¾%, and +4% for an exra year, respecively, for careers below 25 year beween 25 and 37, and over 37. This adds o he normal accrual rae for year of conribuion and allows surpassing he maximum pension (hough no he maximum conribuory base ha is he highes upper limi). 2 See Par 4 for deails. 3 In 2013 he maximum pension benefi was 35,623 per year. Minimum pension benefis depend on pensioner age and household composiion (in 2013, 10,932 per year wih dependen spouse and over 65). In 2013, 27% of pensions and 21% of new pensions were minimum conribuory pension benefis. 5

6 Back o index c) Disabiliy pensions ake ino accoun he level and he cause of disabiliy, he age of he worker and wheher or no he worker is currenly employed and conribuing. Afer 65 years of age hey are regisered as reiremen pensions. d) Survivors pensions include widow(ers), orphans and oher relaives pensions. In he case of acive persons causing a survivor pension, conribuion requiremens are needed. The pension benefi for he widow(er) amouns o 52 percen of he deceased spouse's RB (in some cases 70%). For he orphan i is 20 percen of RB. For oher relaive he pension benefi amouns o 20 percen of he RB, bu i can be increased o 52 percen if here are neiher widow(er)s nor orphans. In any cas he oal pension benefi for he family canno exceed 100 percen of he RB. e) For civil servans pensions (CPE), for he miliary and par of cenral governmen employee he eligibiliy requiremens for old age pensions are 65 years of age and 15 years of conribuions. I includes reiremen, disabiliy and survivors pensions. Since 1997, civil servans can reire afer he age of 65 up o 70 on a volunary basis. Under he CPE schem early reiremen is possible a 60, provided workers have conribued for a leas 30 years. However, he pension calculaion is less favourable in general. The RB is fixed and indexed o prices and depends on he caegory he civil servan belongs o. The accrual rae for he pension benefi depends on he whole career. This sysem has been closed o new enrans as of I reforms Since he AR2012, wo major reforms have been adoped. Their impac was peer-reviewed by he AWG of April 1 s 2014 and endorsed by he EPC of April 8h They are legislaed in Royal Decree-law 5/2013, of March 15 h, on measures o favour prolonging he working life of elder workers and o promoe acive ageing, and in Law 23/2013, of December 23 rd, on he susainabiliy facor and on he index for pension revaluaion. The main measures are described below and explained wih greaer deail in Par IV of his fiche. a) Susainabiliy facor of he reiremen pension. The susainabiliy facor is an auomaic link beween he amoun of reiremen pension benefis and developmens in life expecancy of pensioners. I will be applied only once on each pensioner when deermining he iniial amoun of a new pension. I will come ino effec in b) New index for pension revaluaion (IPR). All conribuory pension including minimum pensions and civil servans pension will increase annually according o he Index for Pension Revaluaion, insead of he CPI indexaion radiionally used. I has enered ino force in 2014, immediaely afer he adopion of he law. The index is esablished annually in he Naional Budge Law a a level consisen wih a balanced budge of he Social Securiy sysem over he medium run. c) Modified condiions for early reiremen. Early reiremen for involunary reirees (collecive dismissals) requires a minimum reiremen age of 63 years (increasing progressively from 61 in 2013 o 63 in 2027) and a minimum conribuory period of 33 years (same as before). Early reiremen for volunary reirees requires a minimum age of 65 (increasing progressively from 63 in 2013 o 65 in 2027), a minimum conribuory period of 35 years (previously 35) and he compued benefi mus be greaer han he minimum pension. 6

Males and females are subjec o he same rules. In he case ha a worker wih a 40-year career decides volunarily o reire a he earlies possible age (63 years), he penaly is 15%, 7.5% for each of he wo years remaining o reach he sauory reiremen age. For involunary reiremen, he earlies reiremen age is 61 years and he annual penaly 7%, so ha he corresponding penaly is 28%.

Access o early parial reiremen is resriced: For longer careers (longer han 36.5 years) he minimum age is increased progressively beween 2013 and 2027 from 61 o 63 years. For medium careers (beween 33 and 36.5 years) he minimum age is raised progressively from 61 o 65 years. For careers shorer han 33 year parial reiremen is no possible (before he reform only 30 years were required). 7

8 e) Oher elemens of he 2013 reforms. Back o index - Compaibiliy beween reiremen pension and work: The conribuory reiremen pension will be compaible wih any work, boh wage- and self-employed, carried ou by he pensioner, provided he pensioner has reached he sauory reiremen age; he pensioner is eniled o receive a full pension. The compaible work can be boh fullime and par-ime. The pension benefi will be equivalen o half of he amoun he pensioner would be eniled o. For hose already reired, he benefi will be half of he amoun being perceived up o ha momen, excluding minimum complemens. The pensioner will no have he righ o receive minimum complemens. He/she will be considered pensioner for all legal purposes. Once he labour conrac or he selfemployed aciviy is ended, he full benefi will be reesablished. During he working period, worker and employer will only be subjec o conribuions regarding professional coningencies and emporary disabiliy. Addiionally boh will be subjec o a special solidariy conribuion of 8%, which does no accrue pension benefis. - Measures o avoid discriminaion agains elder workers in collecive dismissals: In order o promoe he lenghening of working lif firms will have o make a special economic conribuion o he pension sysem when workers over 50 are laid-ou in collecive dismissals. I.4. "Consan policy" assumpions on pension revaluaion The model applies he no policy change assumpion. Tradiionally, pension benefis (of hose already reired) had been indexed o inflaion. Afer he inroducion of he 2013 reform all exising earning-relaed pensions are projeced o be indexed o he new Index for Pension Revaluaion (IPR). Non-conribuory pensions are sill linked o wage given ha hey are no covered in he 2013 reform and ha heir saring level provides room for improvemen. On he oher hand, new pensions have a minimum and a maximum hreshold, which are se annually in he annual Budge Law. In he pa minimum pensions have been racking wage while he maximum pensions have followed inflaion. As a consequenc he general rule is ha new pensions are projeced o be linked o wage wih he excepion of maximum new pensions which are assumed o follow inflaion. Moreover, all women new pensions are raised by an addiional consan coefficien reflecing he parial convergence o men in career duraion. On op of ha, new pensions are adjused by he 2011 reform and by he Susainabiliy Facor. Regarding he Conribuory Bases (CBs) used o compue new pension benefi hey are also deermined in he annual Budge Law. In recen year maximum CBs have increased significanly above maximum new pensions. As a consequenc all CBs are assumed o grow in line wih wages and conribuions over GDP are kep consan hroughou he projecion period. Imporanly, all he consan policy assumpions mus be considered wih cauion as hey projec a reasonable evoluion for he variables involved bu hey also reflec subjecive choices aken by he modellers among a pool of oher reasonable alernaives. In paricular, he projeced divergence beween CBs and new pensions and he assumpion of maximum and minimum new pensions growing above he IPR are key feaures of his model. 8

9 II: DEMOGRAPHIC AND LABOUR FORCES PROJECTIONS II.1. Demographic developmens Back o index The age pyramid and able 2 provide an overview of he demographic developmens unil The size of he populaion is expeced o remain broadly consan a around 46 million. This represens a sensible drop from he previous projecion round, which is explained mainly by reversed migraion flows in he firs par of he considered ime horizon. The age composiion shows significan changes. The old age dependency raio doubles is saring level a some poin of he projecion period, alhough i is on a downward rend since The increase in he dependency raio resuls from boh he increase in he size of he cohors ha reach he age of 65 and beyond (relaive o working age populaion) and he increase in life expecancy a 65.

Labour force projecions Back o index Table 3 provides an overview of he main changes ha will ake place in he labour marke among elderly workers in he period from 2013 o I is remarkable ha labour force paricipaion for ages 55 o 64 will increase from 54 o 82%, and for ages 65 o 74 from 3.4 o 21%.

The average effecive age of reiremen rises inensely in he ransiional phase of he 2011 pension reform and less so hereafer. The average working career is exended significanly as a resul.

The projecion covers he following pension sysems: a) Conribuory Public Pensions: The model covers old-age and early reiremen, disabiliy and survivors pensions under he Social Securiy and he Civil Servans sysems. These include he complemens o minimum pensions (requiring a leas 15 years of conribuion). I also includes he SOVI regime (pensions for persons having conribued only before 1967) and oher fading pension schemes 4. b) Non-earnings relaed Public Pensions: These are non-earnings means-esed basic pensions 5. They accouned for 0.1% of GDP in Women accoun for 80% of oldage non-earnings relaed pensions. c) Privae pensions: Occupaional and personal individual pension funds (boh are volunary). In able 5, he difference beween ESSPROS and AWG public pension expendiure is shown. Discrepancies are explained by minor schemes no accouned for in AWG projecions such as former pension schemes linked o social assisance (e.g. LISMI for he handicapped) or complemens by local and regional governmens and by muual funds for civil servans. Moreover, ESSPROS excludes all insurance policies aken ou on he privae iniiaive of individuals or households solely in heir own inere i.e. privae individual pensions. Noe ha he disaggregaion beween public and privae pension expendiure remains unpublished and provisional.

Overview of projecion resuls a) CSM model Eurosa (ESSPROS) vs. Ageing Working Group definiion of pension expendiure (% GDP) The Commission capured he 2011 reform in is CSM by adding 2.1 years o he effecive reiremen age beween 2013 and 2027, and leaving i consan aferwards. This increase was already included in he AR2012. On op of ha, he 2013 reform is expeced o increase he effecive reiremen age by 0.9 years beween 2014 and Up o 2027, he effecive reiremen age increases linearly by 0.7 years as a resul of resriced access o early reiremen as envisaged in RDL 5/2013. Beween 2027 and 2060 he susainabiliy facor generaes an addiional 0.2 year increase. As a consequence of he 2013 reform, he new paricipaion rae is 1.8 poins higher and GDP is 1.8% higher in 2060 han ha resuling from he CSM plus 2011 reform. 4 SOVI pensions can be awarded o persons accrediing conribuions before 1967 (bu who sopped working aferwards). Persons belonging o muualism pension schemes afer 1967 are awarded addiional conribuion years (assuming hey sared working a he minimum working-age). 5 Regulaion of hese pensions sared in 1990 (Law 26/1990). 11

The impac of he 2013 reforms is large enough so as o neuralize mos of he upwards pressure on he dependency raio up o From hen on, he moderaion in expendiure growh compared o he AR2012 is mainly explained by a more benign dependency raio. Table 6 shows he resuls of he occupaional and individual pension projecions.
