 Cuentas nacionales de transferencias: una estimación para Uruguay (2017)Marisa Bucheli () and Cecilia González () No 824, Documentos de Trabajo (working papers) from Department of Economics - dECON Abstract: This paper presents the main results of the estimation of the National Transfer Accounts (NTA) system for 2017 in Uruguay. We describe the characteristics of the Life Cycle Deficit (LCD) by age and the its main sources of financing: public transfers, private transfers and assets based reallocations. In addition, we estimate the economic support ratio and its projection over time. Where possible, we compare the results are with previous estimations of the NTA system for Uruguay. The results show that in 2017 the surplus stage is between 28 and 58 years old. On the other hand, those under 20 years of age are financed heavily based on private transfers (69% of their DCV), i.e., received from adult members of their own household or from other households, while the remaining 31% of the DCV is financed through public transfers. In contrast, older adults are financed first through public transfers (72%), mainly retirements and pensions, and secondly with income from assets (37%). In addition, they make private transfers, i.e., they give more than they receive through private channels.
