1 From Challenge to Opportunity Wave 2 of the East Asia Retirement Survey Richard Jackson President Global Aging Institute Hong Kong Media Roundtable Hong Kong September 4, 2015 Gap.GlobalAgingInstitute.org
2 Survey Framework The East Asia Retirement Survey is now in its second wave. The first wave was conducted in 2011 in China, Hong Kong SAR, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. The second wave was conducted in 2014 in the six first-wave countries plus Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. The survey is nationally representative, except that the samples for China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam were limited to urban areas. The survey universe consists of main earners aged 20 and over, including both current main earners and retired main earners. Respondents were asked about their general attitudes toward retirement, as well as about their own retirement experience and expectations. Current retirees were asked about their current retirement experience, while current workers were asked about their retirement expectations. 2
3 Although the ten countries surveyed differ in important respects, they also have important things in common. There are enormous differences in per capita income, institutional capacity, degree of market orientation, and extent of population aging across the ten countries surveyed. Yet all ten of the countries have at least two things in common: underdeveloped welfare states and retirement systems in which the extended family continues to play a far more important role than it does in the West. 45% 35% 25% 15% 5% Share of the Population Aged 60 & Over 41% 38% % 33% 29% 23% 22% 15% 17% 19% 19% 17% 17% 16% 9% 9% 7% UN Population Division 3
4 The Future of Retirement in Hong Kong 4
5 By overwhelming majorities, East Asians reject the traditional model of family-centered retirement security. "Who, ideally, should be mostly responsible for providing income to retired people? and "Who, ideally, should be mostly responsible for providing personal care to retired people? Share of Respondents Saying "Grown Children or Other Family Members" 7 5 Income Personal Care 48% 63% 21% 6% 8% 26% 29% 6% 11% 32% 34% 13% 11% 8% 5
6 Looking to the future, today s workers expect to be less dependent on the family than today s retirees are. Share of Today's Retirees Who Are and Share of Today's Workers Who Expect to Be Financially Dependent on Their Grown Children 45% Today's Retirees Today's Workers 37% 35% 25% 15% 5% 9% 17% 16% 6% 6% 6% 14% 25% 12% 27% 21% 29% 12% 32% 14% 16% 6
7 Views differ greatly across East Asia about who should replace the family as guarantor of retirement security. "Who, ideally, should be mostly responsible for providing income to retired people? Share of Respondents Saying Retirees Themselves, through Their Own Savings versus Share Saying Government 7 61% Retirees Themselves Government 62% 63% 66% 66% 5 23% 48% 36% 44% 41% 34% 43% 18% 45% 22% 18% 9% 7
8 Hong Kongers are divided about who should be responsible for retirement income Share of Hong Konger Respondents Saying "Government" Should Be Mostly Responsible for Providing Retirement Income versus Share Saying "Retirees Themselves, through Their Own Savings," by Income Bracket* Government Retirees Themselves % 54% 43% 27% 16% 5 59% 68% 36% 31% 44% Less Than More Than 5 * Income brackets are defined as multiples of the median household income. 8
9 For today s retirees, retirement can be a time of insecurity in Hong Kong. Share of Today's Retirees Who Have "a Lot Less Income" Now Than When Working % 69% 5 43% 45% 47% 29% 33% 14% 14% 15% 9
10 With rates of pension receipt due to rise as the MPF matures, the outlook for today s workers is improving Share of Today's Retirees Receiving and Share of Today's Workers Expecting to Receive Income from the State Pension System 45% Today's Retirees 68% 49% 61% 59% Today's Workers 44% 68% 68% 55% 54% 86% 79% 89% 89% 91% 65% 55% 83% 95% 10
11 9 Compared with today s retirees, a much larger share of today s workers also expect to receive income from financial assets. Share of Today's Retirees Receiving Income and Share of Today's Workers Expecting to Receive Income from Financial Assets* Today's Retirees 77% Today's Workers 68% 63% 41% 42% 42% 48% 73% 74% 5 51% 3% 8% 18% 18% 11% 13% 19% * Includes insurance and annuity policies and stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, but excludes bank deposits. 11
12 Today s workers expect to work longer than today s retirees did, which should further improve their retirement prospects Share of Today's Retirees Who Retired at Age 60 or Later and Share of Today's Workers Expecting to Retire at Age 60 or Later 8% Today's Retirees 33% 28% 5 Today's Workers* 56% 14% 39% 32% 65% 49% 71% 71% 29% 51% 75% 76% 34% * Includes workers who never intend to retire. 12

14 Three Reasons for Workers Retirement Insecurity Although pension receipt rates are rising in most countries, replacement rates are generally low. Most workers are not saving enough for retirement on their own to make up for the likely gap in pension income. In countries with pay-as-yougo state pension systems, workers are concerned about the security of government benefit promises. Average Net Financial Asset-to-Income Ratio of Survey Respondents at Age 50* Indonesia Philippines Thailand Vietnam China Malaysia Singapore Taiwan Hong Kong South Korea * Includes all classes of household financial assets; ratios are averages for respondents aged
