Abstract
This paper deals with the impact of increasing life expectancy on pay-as-you-go (PAYG) financed pension schemes and measures that aim at solving the resulting budgetary problems. Relevant determinants for financial considerations are particularly the ratio of beneficiaries to contributors and the pension level. The focus is on measures that directly integrate indicators of life expectancy into pension calculation. The authors discuss the effects of a) a general reduction of the pension level by introducing a life expectancy indicator into the pension formula, b) a reduction of the initial average pension at a given retirement age or c) an increase of the retirement age itself because of increasing life expectancy. The authors conclude that postponing retirement is an adequate measure for coping with the financial effects of increasing life expectancy
