ABSTRACT

It can be shown that the welfare position of each member of the state pension system is varying depending on the socioeconomic environments such as demographic structure and macroeconomic variables as well as its financing method of defined benefit public pension plans(DBP). This kind of awareness stems from the ‘social insurance paradox’ that is raised by Samuelson(1958), Aaron(1966) and followed by subsequent numerous researches, which we call the macroeconomic approaches. This article, which follows those actuarial perspectives by Yarri(1965), Ferrara and Drouin(1996) and Hirose(1999), identifies those socio-economic factors that influence the difference of welfare level of covered members of the state pension system based on the comparison of three criteria such as the optimal premium rates, net life-time incomes, and the internal rate of returns. In case of our country, we could conclude that it is very urgent to set up and implement an actuarially sound financing system, in particular considering unprecedently rapid aging rate of population.
