Title: Pension schemes for (semi-)government employees in the Netherlands - a national accounts perspective
Abstract: The pension system in the Netherlands has some special features, the most striking of which is the large share of funded pension schemes – also applicable to (semi-)government employees. Recently, a number of changes, including greater reliance on average pay pensions, have been introduced to make the pension system better able to cope with the ageing of the Dutch population. This paper briefly describes both structural aspects and recent changes. It focuses on the treatment, in the national accounts, of pension schemes for (semi )government employees, taking into consideration the recent proposals for changes to the 1993 SNA and Eurostat’s decisions on transactions in pension liabilities with respect to EDP notifications.
