Investigated is the impact of the IFE on women’s role in providing household income and on the distribution of roles within households, as a reflection of women’s empowerment. Drawing on various household surveys, the study compared those women eligible to receive the transfer with those who were not. A difference-in-differences (DID) methodology was used to measure the impact. Following the implementation of the IFE, women’s share of couple income and household income is found to have increased by some 8 per cent and 11 per cent, respectively, while the probability of women being solely responsible for household chores has fallen by 4 per cent.</p><p>Cet article présente des données empiriques sur l’impact du revenu familial d’urgence (<i>Ingreso Familiar de Emergencia</i> – IFE), introduit en Argentine en 2020. Il examine les conséquences de cette prestation sur la place des femmes en tant qu’apporteuses de revenu et sur la répartition des rôles au sein du ménage, engageant ainsi une réflexion sur l’autonomisation des femmes. Il s’appuie sur diverses enquêtes conduites auprès des ménages pour comparer les femmes qui ouvrent droit à l’IFE et celles qui ne peuvent pas y prétendre. L’impact est mesuré au moyen d’une méthode des doubles différences. L’article montre qu’après l’entrée en vigueur de l’IFE, la part du revenu des femmes dans le revenu du couple et dans celui du ménage a augmenté de respectivement 8 pour cent et 11 pour cent, tandis que la probabilité que la femme soit la seule à assumer les tâches ménagères a diminué de 4 pour cent.</p><p>En este artículo se facilitan datos empíricos sobre los efectos del Ingreso Familiar de Emergencia (IFE), prestación que se puso en marcha en la Argentina en 2020. Se investiga cómo afecta el IFE al papel que desempeña la mujer en la contribución al ingreso del hogar y a la distribución de las funciones en los hogares para saber cómo se refleja en el empoderamiento de la mujer. A partir de una serie de encuestas de hogares, en el estudio se comparan a las mujeres elegibles para percibir la transferencia de la prestación con las que no lo son. Se utiliza para ello una metodología de diferencias en diferencias (DD) para medir los efectos mencionados. Los resultados sugieren que, tras la puesta en marcha del IFE, la contribución de las mujeres al ingreso de la pareja y al ingreso del hogar aumentó alrededor de un 8 y un 11 por ciento, respectivamente, y la probabilidad de que las mujeres sean las únicas responsables de las tareas del hogar se redujo un 4 por ciento.</p><p>Dieser Artikel liefert empirische Erkenntnisse zum 2020 in Argentinien eingeführten Haushalts-Notfalleinkommen (<i>Ingreso Familiar de Emergencia,</i> IFE).

He joined the German Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs as an actuary and health economist, and eight years later, in 1983, moved to the Social Security Department of the International Labour Office (ILO). Michael joined the ILO Budapest Office at the time when its multidisciplinary advisory team for Central and Eastern Europe was established to support the countries in the sub-region, which were starting their transitions from centrally planned to market economies. He served in Budapest, between 1993 and 1995, as the senior social security specialist. In 1995, he returned to Geneva as Chief of the Financial, Actuarial and Statistical Branch of the ILO’s Social Security Department and, in 2005, he was appointed Director of the ILO’s Social Security Department. He retired from the ILO at the end of 2012, just six months after the International Labour Conference had adopted a new landmark social security standard, the Social Protection Floors Recommendation (No. 202).

Although inspired by the World Bank’s 1994 pension privatization blueprint, the Greek 2022 reform features a major policy shift by entrusting the management of individual pension savings to a dedicated government body, ostensibly to try to remedy inherent market failures in private pension provision. Like earlier reforms in Eastern Europe, the multi-decade transition costs of carve-out funding have been vastly underestimated in Greece, which will give rise to fiscal distress in the coming years when annual transition costs become sizeable and favourable international financing terms start to change. Unless firm political commitment is established to implement the measures necessary to finance the transition costs, Greece may have to resort to reform reversals similar to those already implemented across Eastern Europe.</p><p>Après une décennie d’austérité sans précédent, la Grèce a brusquement repensé sa manière de renforcer son système de pension en 2022 et adopté le financement controversé des pensions personnalisées. Ce dispositif implique qu’une part des cotisations au régime par répartition serve au financement des épargnes-retraites des personnes, ce qui, en conséquence, altère le financement des pensions actuelles du régime par répartition. Quoiqu’inspirée du plan de privatisation des retraites de 1994 de la Banque mondiale, la réforme grecque de 2022 marque un revirement politique majeur, en ce qu’elle confie la gestion des épargnes-retraites des personnes à un organisme gouvernemental dédié, apparemment pour tenter de gommer les défaillances du marché quant à la fourniture des pensions privées. À l’instar des nombreuses réformes adoptées par le passé en Europe de l’Est, les coûts liés à la transition vers ce financement personnalisé, qui mettra plusieurs décennies à prendre forme, ont été largement sous-estimés en Grèce. Cette sous-évaluation donnera lieu à des difficultés budgétaires au cours des prochaines années, alors que les coûts annuels de la transition grimpent et que les conditions favorables des financements internationaux commencent à subir des changements. À moins d’un fort engagement politique permettant d’adopter les mesures nécessaires pour supporter les frais de la transition, la Grèce pourrait devoir abandonner sa réforme, comme nous en avons déjà été témoins dans toute l’Europe de l’Est.</p><p>En 2022, tras un decenio de austeridad sin precedentes, Grecia ha cambiado bruscamente la forma de reforzar su sistema de pensiones y ha adoptado la controvertida financiación por transferencia de las pensiones (<i>carve-out pension funding</i>).

Therefore, a major challenge for policy makers is to strike a balance between adequate care and sustainable financing. In this study, we evaluate the proposal of a so-called sustainability factor in German long-term care insurance. Considering changes in the beneficiary-contributor ratio, it aims for a rule-based consideration of demographic dynamics to alleviate pressure on long-term care financing. Using the framework of generational accounting, we demonstrate that this proposal could have a relieving effect on finances, depending on the share of involvement of current and future generations. It may offer an option for pay-as-you-go long-term care insurance systems worldwide that need to curb the impact of ageing societies. Therefore, this article addresses policy makers tasked with designing a sustainable financing model for long-term care insurance. It demonstrates that the sustainability factor represents a step towards sustainable finances and, thus, it might be one component of a more comprehensive reform package.</p><p>Étant donné que la fourniture et le financement des soins de longue durée constituent des thématiques de plus en plus importantes dans l’ensemble des économies vieillissantes, les responsables politiques sont confrontés à un défi majeur: atteindre un équilibre entre des soins adaptés et un financement viable.

Au vu de l’évolution du ratio bénéficiaires/cotisants, cette proposition entend transposer des règles dans la prise en compte des dynamiques démographiques, en vue de réduire les pressions exercées sur le financement des soins de longue durée. À l’aide du cadre de comptabilité générationnelle, nous révélons que cette proposition pourrait soulager les finances, en fonction de la part d’implication des générations actuelles et futures, et inclure aux quatre coins du monde des systèmes d’assurance par répartition des soins de longue durée, qui doivent freiner l’impact des sociétés vieillissantes. Cet article s’adresse dès lors aux responsables politiques chargés d’élaborer un modèle de financement viable pour l’assurance des soins de longue durée. Il démontre que le facteur de viabilité constitue une première mesure en faveur de finances viables et, ainsi, pourrait faire partie intégrante d’un ensemble plus complet de réformes.</p><p>La prestación de cuidados de larga duración y su financiación son cuestiones cada vez más importantes en todas las economías con un elevado índice de envejecimiento.

Based on primary data from both qualitative and quantitative methods, we find that the key determinants of enrolment include social factors, such as marital status, which create demand for insurance, and the role of informal workers’ associations that promote the voluntary uptake of health insurance and prevent default through contribution support. Participation barriers and reasons for inactiveness stem from the nature of informal work characterized by irregular earnings, which combine with apprehension about having to pay penalty charges for the late payment of premiums, inadequate levels of knowledge about health insurance schemes, institutional constraints such as complex registration procedures, as well as premium costs and poor-quality services, all of which discourage enrolment or the reactivation of lapsed membership. There is thus a need for health insurance schemes, such as Kenya’s National Hospital Insurance Fund, to educate informal workers on insurance services and protocols and to improve services to encourage uptake and reduce default behaviour.</p><p>Cet article étudie les obstacles à la libre participation des travailleurs informels au sein du régime national d’assurance du Kenya: la Caisse nationale pour soins hospitaliers. Sur la base des données primaires recueillies à l’aide de méthodes tant qualitatives que quantitatives, nous sommes parvenus à la conclusion que les principaux facteurs déterminant l’adhésion englobent des aspects sociaux comme le statut marital, qui sous-tend la demande d’assurance, et le rôle des associations des travailleurs informels, qui encouragent l’adhésion volontaire à l’assurance maladie et luttent contre les non-paiements en offrant une aide aux cotisations. Les obstacles à la participation et les raisons de cette inactivité trouvent leur origine dans la nature même du travail informel, qui se caractérise par des revenus irréguliers – et l’appréhension de devoir s’acquitter de pénalités en cas de retard dans le paiement des primes –, des niveaux de compréhension insuffisants des régimes d’assurance maladie et des contraintes institutionnelles telles que la complexité des procédures d’enregistrement, le coût des primes et la qualité médiocre des services. Tous ces facteurs dissuadent les travailleurs à s’inscrire aux régimes ou à les rejoindre à nouveau en cas d’adhésion échue.

Social protection systems have an important role to play in this endeavour. Through a life cycle approach, social protection systems can support i) the prevention of disability in old age (i.e. by addressing the social determinants of health and rehabilitation), ii) effective access to long-term care without hardship for those who need it, and iii) decent work in the care economy. To do so will require adopting a gender-transformative approach. Indeed, women are disproportionately represented among both older persons and long-term care providers in their diversity. Further, to adequately contribute to healthy ageing and effective access to long-term care without hardship as a rights-based entitlement, social protection systems will need to build strong coordination between health care, social care and other social policies. This article highlights the key entry points for social protection systems to contribute to the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing, building on the rights-based approach of human rights and international social security standards.</p><p>Avec la longévité croissante de la population, le vieillissement en bonne santé devient impératif pour tous.
