Es ist mehr Symbolpolitik als die direkte Demokratie, die eine Anhebung des Frauenrentenalters verhindert.
Selbstständige Ökonomin
Monika Bütler
Flexibilisierung ist ein wichtiges gesellschaftliches Anliegen. Aber wenn man die Finanzierung oder Sanierung der AHV ansieht, dann hilft nur eins: für alle das Rentenalter zu erhöhen.
Directeur romand und Forschungsleiter Finanzierbare Sozialpolitik, Avenir Suisse
Jérôme Cosandey
Auch im aktuellen System gibt es sehr viele Probleme. Diese würden teilweise behoben, wenn wir einen besseren Wettbewerb hätten. In einigen Ländern funktioniert es mit der freien Pensionskassenwahl recht gut.
Sector Head Retirement and Pensions Solutions, UBS

Fachpanel II
Erfreulicherweise zählt die Schweiz zu den Ländern mit der höchsten Lebenserwartung in Europa: Laut Bundesamt für Statistik liegt heute die Lebenserwartung bei Geburt für die Frauen bei 85,6 und für die Männer bei 81,9 Jahren. Und sie nimmt nach wie vor jährlich um mehrere Tage zu. Aufgrund des gesetzlich festgelegten Rentenalters verbringt die Schweizer Wohnbevölkerung einen immer grösseren Teil ihres Lebens im Ruhestand. Hinzu kommt, dass in der Schweiz weniger Kinder als früher geboren werden. Diese beiden Entwicklungen bergen weitreichende Konsequenzen für die Altersvorsorge. Wie muss die Vorsorge ausgestaltet sein, damit sie nicht zulasten der kommenden Generationen funktioniert?
Das diesjährige Wirtschaftspodium fand für einmal online statt in Form von zwei Fachpanels, die am 6. Und 8. April stattfanden. Das zweite Panel stellte das Thema Altersvorsorge ins Zentrum. Ökonomin Monika Bütler, Directeur romand von Avenir Suisse Jérôme Cosandey und UBS Vorsorgeexpertin Veronica Weisser diskutierten mögliche Lösungsansätze zur Sicherung der Altersvorsorge. Moderiert wurde die Diskussion von UBS Foundation Professor Florian Scheuer.
Als Anreicherung der Debatte flossen pointierte Aussagen von Politikerinnen und Politiker in die Panels ein.

Florian Scheuer received his PhD from MIT in 2010. He is interested in the policy implications of rising inequality, with a focus on tax policy. In particular, he has worked on incorporating important features of real-world labor markets into the design of optimal income and wealth taxes.

His work has been published in the American Economic Review, the Journal of Political Economy, the Quarterly Journal of Economics and the Review of Economic Studies, among other journals. In 2017, he received an ERC starting grant for his research on “Inequality - Public Policy and Political Economy.” Before joining Zurich, he was on the faculty at Stanford, held visiting positions at Harvard and UC Berkeley and was a National Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is Co-Editor of Theoretical Economics and Member of the Board of Editors of the Review of Economic Studies. He is also a Co-Director of the working group on Macro Public Finance at the NBER.
