Current pension system Mongolia (1)Born before 1960
-Soviet pension, height of premium depends on labor history-pension age woman 50, man 55-financed from 11% social security premium
Born after 1960-Introduced in 1999, ‘deferred drawing rights’-on top of 11% social security comes 7% pension premium-height premium based on balance individual account, divided
by the life expectancy
Current pension system Mongolia (2)
• Not mandatory 2nd pillar pension scheme• 3rd pillar pension scheme not available• Current (increasing) life expectancy: M 63,7 / V 70• No social allowances for informal sector• No provision of funds, pay-as-you-go• Mongolian people sceptical about pension accumulation
government• Huge interest for private pension
