Tackling New Forms of Work in Pension Systems: Necessary Shift from ‘Work-type-related’ to ‘Income-related’ Systems

The main function of pension systems is income replacement. Hence author argues that income itself and not the work-type should be the main element upon which social insurance systems in general, more specifically old-age pension systems, should be financed from and rely upon. Authors' hypothesis is that it is necessary to make a shift from ‘work-type-related’ to ‘income- related’ pension systems if we want to bridge the gap between current incomes stemming in reality from various sources (physical work, intellectual property, financial capital, and other movable and immovable property) and future pension benefits. Other presents arguments in two steps: firstly by briefly mentioning the main types and features of new working arrangements and identifies thereto related current deficiencies in pension systems, and secondly, by providing an outlook on the needed shift to ‘income-related’ systems.
