국민연금과 공무원연금의 형평성 비교분석: 공적연금개혁이 수평적 형평성 측면에 미친 영향을 중심으로

Abstract

This study aims to test equality between the National Pension Scheme(NPS) and the Government Employees Pension Scheme(GEPS) by comparing lifetime income of pensioners since major pension reform in 2007 and 2009. Findings show that the lifetime income of Government Employee(GE) is smaller than Private Employee(PE) assuming 33-year employment, but the lifetime of GE is higher when PE retires 3 years earlier. Furthermore, the decrease of lifetime income due to pension reform of PE is much higher than that of GE in all cases. The result suggests that the recent GEPS reform plan, from the government and ruling party seems to be reasonable in principle. However, it should be combined with wage adjustment reflecting the effect of GEPS reform and job safety of public sector. Additionally, GEPS should be reformed in accordance with proper procedure getting GEs’ assent, while information about GEPS should be opened to the public.
