Social Security Pension Reform in China

Martin Feldstein

No 6794, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: China has legislated a mixed social security pension system with a defined benefit pay-as-you-go portion and an investment-based defined contribution portion. This paper analyses the economics of these two types of systems in the Chinese context and calculates the advantage to China of using an investment-based portion. Several options for reform of the recently legislated system are considered.
