Let's Verify Together! Public Pension Glossary

Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare

Claims Supported by This Source

  1. The pay-as-you-go system is a method of securing the financial resources needed for pension payments from the premium income of the current working generation.
  2. The funded system is a method where individuals accumulate the financial resources they will need to receive their pension in the future during their own working years.
  3. The macroeconomic slide is a mechanism that automatically adjusts the benefit level of public pensions in line with the decline in the working-age population and the increase in life expectancy. While it is in effect, the growth in pension amounts will be lower than the growth in wages and prices.
  4. Fiscal verification is the process of examining the financial health of the public pension system and is conducted at least once every five years.
