Recessions and Retirement: New Evidence from the COVID-19 Pandemic

Evidence from past recessions indicates that economic downturns are typically associated with an increase in retirements.

Por Carmelo Mesa-Lago En los últimos cuatro decenios, tres acontecimientos han impactado los principios de seguridad social emanados de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT): cobertura, solidaridad social e igualdad de género, suficiencia de las prestaciones, administración eficiente y a un costo razonable, y sostenibilidad financiera-actuarial.
