Then, the paper attempts to assess, through empirical work in selected industrial countries, the extent to which this approach explains recent trends in personnal saving ratios. [fre] Après avoir rappelé le rôle et le poids des principaux déterminants de l'épargne des ménages dans le cadre de l'hypothèse du cycle de vie - revenu permanent, l'article examine, à partir des travaux empiriques menés dans quelques grands pays industrialisés, la capacité de cette approche à expliquer l'évolution observée du taux d'épargne des particuliers au cours des dernières années.
