| Tiivistelmä: | The aim of this article is to analyze the effects of changes in the mortality rate upon life expectancy, education, retirement age, human capital and growth in the presence of social security. The authors build a vintage growth, overlapping generations model in which individuals choose the length of education and the age of retirement, and where unfunded social security pensions depend on workers' past contributions. The results show that social security has a positive effect on education. But pension benefits favor reduction in retirement age. And finally, higher social security contribution rates reduce the growth rate of per capita GDP. |
