SER <\/strong>discusses challenges and prospects of Curacao’s pension system during conference<\/span><\/h1>\n
“Targeted action now!”<\/span><\/h5>\n

Willemstad, June 27, 2023 – On the opening day of the conference entitled “Living longer, working longer: the sustainability of the pension system in the Dutch Caribbean,” Drs. Raul Henriquez, director\/general secretary of the Social and Economic Council (SER) of Cura\u00e7ao, spoke about the future challenges and sustainability of the pension system in Cura\u00e7ao. The two-day conference, organized by the Algemeen Pensioenfonds Cura\u00e7ao (APC) and the University of Cura\u00e7ao (UOC) on Thursday, June 22 and Friday, June 23, took place in the auditorium of the UOC. The audience included pension and social security experts, actuaries, representatives of pension funds and other interested parties from the CAS countries (Cura\u00e7ao, Aruba and Sint Maarten).<\/p>\n

Henriquez emphasized the demographic challenges facing Cura\u00e7ao, such as increasing aging, de-growth, and emigration surplus, resulting in increased “gray pressure”. As a result, a growing group of non-working people must be financially supported by a shrinking group of working people, which puts pressure on the sustainability of the pension system.” Henriquez said it is crucial to develop innovative and structural solutions that both protect the interests of seniors and support the economic vitality of Cura\u00e7ao. He pointed to the opportunity for significant improvements within the second pillar of the pension system, the supplementary pension plans. He also indicated that the problem of non-compliance regarding premium payments for the General Old Age Insurance (AOV) seriously threatens the financial stability of the pension system.<\/p>\n

The SER director stressed the importance of deciding on a comprehensive policy framework that addresses both the economic and institutional sustainability of AOV, and counteracts the problem of non-compliance. He spoke of the need for various interventions to ensure the financial sustainability of the pension system. In line with this, he referred to the proposed policy adjustments by the Economic Research Foundation (SEO), including raising the AOV age starting in 2030.<\/p>\n

The ultimate goal, Henriquez stressed, is to guarantee the dignity and well-being of Cura\u00e7ao’s elderly population by strengthening the pension system. He further underscored the importance of recognizing the contributions seniors have made to society, and called for respect and recognition by offering them a dignified life after retirement. In this context, Henriquez also highlighted the ethical obligation to care for the most vulnerable, promote social cohesion, and support social justice. He stressed that every individual is entitled to a basic level of economic security and the opportunity to actively participate in society, regardless of age.<\/p>\n

In his speech, Henriquez referred to an important 2020 study by the SER on the future of AOV in Cura\u00e7ao. The study highlighted the crucial role of migration and demographic changes in the financial sustainability of the AOV system. He also discussed the SER’s 2018 opinion on the initiative-drafted Basic Statutory (Mandatory) Pension, stressing the need for a thorough analysis of the objectives, financial implications, and protection of workers.<\/p>\n

Finally, Henriquez called for targeted action to ensure a dignified life after retirement and the future of Cura\u00e7ao’s AOV system. He stressed the urgency and called for concerted efforts for a sustainable and equitable pension system.<\/p>\n

The complete speech<\/a> of Mr. Henriquez is only available in Dutch.<\/p>\n

SER <\/strong>bespreekt uitdagingen en vooruitzichten van het pensioenstelsel op Cura\u00e7ao tijdens conferentie<\/span><\/h1>
\u201cGerichte actie nu!\u201d<\/span><\/p>
Willemstad, 27 juni 2023 - Op de openingsdag van de conferentie, getiteld \"Langer leven, langer werken: de houdbaarheid van het pensioenstelsel in de Dutch Caribbean\", sprak drs. Raul Henriquez, directeur\/algemeen secretaris van de Sociaal-Economische Raad (SER) van Cura\u00e7ao, over de toekomstige uitdagingen en duurzaamheid van het pensioenstelsel op Cura\u00e7ao. De tweedaagse conferentie, georganiseerd door het Algemeen Pensioenfonds Cura\u00e7ao (APC) en de University of Cura\u00e7ao (UOC) op donderdag 22 en vrijdag 23 juni jongsleden, vond plaats in de aula van de UOC. De audi\u00ebntie bestond uit pensioen- en sociale zekerheidsexperts, actuarissen, vertegenwoordigers van pensioenfondsen en overige belangstellenden van de CAS-landen (Cura\u00e7ao, Aruba en Sint Maarten).<\/p>
\u00a0<\/p>
Henriquez benadrukte de demografische uitdagingen waarmee Cura\u00e7ao te kampen heeft, zoals de toenemende vergrijzing, ontgroening en emigratieoverschot, wat resulteert in een grotere 'grijze druk'. ,,Hierdoor moet een groeiende groep niet-werkenden financieel ondersteund worden door een krimpende groep werkenden, wat de houdbaarheid van het pensioenstelsel zwaar onder druk zet.\u201d Volgens Henriquez is het van cruciaal belang om innovatieve en structurele oplossingen te ontwikkelen die zowel de belangen van senioren beschermen als de economische vitaliteit van Cura\u00e7ao ondersteunen. Hij wees op de mogelijkheid voor significante verbeteringen binnen de tweede pijler van het pensioenstelsel, de aanvullende pensioenregelingen. Hij gaf ook aan dat het probleem van non-compliance inzake premieafdracht voor de Algemene Ouderdomsverzekering (AOV) de financi\u00eble stabiliteit van het pensioenstelsel ernstig bedreigt.<\/p>
De SER-directeur benadrukte het belang van besluitvormig over een uitgebreid beleidskader dat zowel de economische als de institutionele houdbaarheid van de AOV aanpakt, en het probleem van non-compliance tegengaat. Hij sprak over de noodzaak van diverse interventies om de financi\u00eble duurzaamheid van het pensioenstelsel te waarborgen. In het verlengde hiervan verwees hij naar de voorgestelde beleidsaanpassingen van de Stichting Economisch Onderzoek (SEO), waaronder het verhogen van de AOV-leeftijd met ingang van 2030.<\/p>
Het uiteindelijke doel, zo benadrukte Henriquez, is het garanderen van de waardigheid en het welzijn van de oudere bevolking op Cura\u00e7ao door het pensioenstelsel te versterken. Hij onderstreepte verder het belang van het erkennen van de bijdragen die senioren hebben geleverd aan de samenleving, en pleitte voor respect en erkenning door hen een waardig leven na pensionering te bieden. Henriquez wees in dit kader ook op de ethische verplichting om voor de meest kwetsbaren te zorgen, het bevorderen van sociale cohesie, en het ondersteunen van sociale rechtvaardigheid. Hij benadrukte dat elk individu recht heeft op een basisniveau van economische zekerheid en de mogelijkheid om actief deel te nemen aan de samenleving, ongeacht leeftijd.<\/p>
In zijn interventie verwees Henriquez naar een belangrijke studie uit 2020 van de SER over de toekomst van de AOV op Cura\u00e7ao. De studie benadrukte de cruciale rol van (arbeids-)migratie en demografische veranderingen in de financi\u00eble duurzaamheid van het AOV-stelsel. Hij besprak ook het advies van de SER uit 2018 over de initiatief-ontwerplandsverordening wettelijk (verplicht) basispensioen, en benadrukte de noodzaak van een grondige analyse van de doelstellingen, financi\u00eble gevolgen en bescherming van werknemers.<\/p>
Tot slot riep Henriquez op tot gerichte actie om een waardig leven na pensionering en de toekomst van het AOV-stelsel op Cura\u00e7ao te waarborgen. Hij benadrukte de urgentie en riep op tot gezamenlijke inspanningen voor een duurzaam en rechtvaardig pensioensysteem.<\/p>
