    <title>Pensions in Malta: Actuarial Analysis and Options for a Second Generation Reform</title>

    <description>Title: Pensions in Malta: Actuarial Analysis and Options for a Second Generation Reform
Abstract: In 1979, Malta adopted a universal contributory Social Security scheme with wide coverage to employees and self employed, complemented by a noncontributory scheme for specific groups or categories excluded from the general contributory regime. Demographic changes, however, have revealed a lack of sustainability beginning in the early 2000s and the serious need to revisit the Maltese pension system to ensure that it can provide adequate and fiscally sustainable benefits for workers in the future. Since 2003, the World Bank has been providing technical assistance to support the efforts of the Maltese government to introduce a comprehensive pension reform program with the primary objective of addressing the lack of sustainability of the pension system. A report produced in October 2003 showed that parametric reforms were needed to shift to a sustainable system but the changes required would have the effect of significantly compromising the level of pensions. However, since mandatory pension contributions were capped at a low ceiling (estimated at 13% of the average wage bill at that time), the report recommended the possibility of introducing a funded second pillar by adding 2 percentage points of contributions from both employees and employers and gradually increasing this to 5 percentage points by 2020 to provide adequate income replacement.

    <description>Title: The Public Perception of the Pensions System
Abstract: The New Pensions Working Group (NPWG) commissioned the National Statistics Office (NSO) to carry out a survey directed to obtain an understanding of the public's perception of the pensions system. The target population for this survey consisted of Maltese residents living in private households aged 18 to 63. An effective stratified sample of around 970 individuals was selected by NSO, such that each individual had an equal and independent chance of being selected. The stratification was performed by individuals' age, sex and district. (...)</description>

    <description>Title: 65 Years Retirement Age: Impact on Manual Workers and other Demanding Jobs. Supplementary Paper to the Final Report of the Pensions Working Group
Abstract: This report presents the findings of the reviews carried out on the participation of older workers in the labour force and on the impacts resulting from an increase in retirement age (to 65 years) on workers in manual and other demanding jobs. In accordance with the terms of reference, the report proposes a number of mitigation measures that may be adopted by Government to minimise any resulting negative impacts from increasing the retirement age to 65 years. The following is a synthesis of the findings. (...)</description>
