Question to this without engagement a tender

The elderly as from 65 years are entitled now still to a benefit by means of the National Old Age Pensions Act (AOW). This basic pension insures the elderly of a subsistence level. But with the increasing demographic ageing the costs threaten get out of hand.

The National Old Age Pensions Act (AOW) became effective in 1957. Reason was the large number of the elderly (300,000) that after the second world war in acute financial need found oneself and appealed to the need law Ouderdomsvoorziening. The intention of the AOW was every insure older one of a subsistence level. With the law an important basis was laid for the Dutch social security system.

Expensive scheme
THE AOW is a social insurance for which everyone who lives legitimately in the Netherlands, has been insured obliged. During fifty years the AOW pension is insure built with 2% per year. The Old Age Pensions Act is produced by means of the so-called unfunded scheme. This means that workers pay premium for the AOW benefit of the elderly of now. Differently than a pension the AOW therefore no piggy bank is. By the increase of the demographic ageing - which reaches the peak in 2035, - and a purchase of the number of workers, becomes Aow-stelsel always more expensive. Previous year received 2.4 million AOW'ers 21 billion euro to benefits, as becomes clear from figures of the Sociale Verzekeringsbank (SVB).

Of 65 to 67
Several agencies examine the possibilities of keeping the old age pension system payable. Thus the scientific Council for the government policy (WRR) in the report puts generation-aware policy that must contribute the draagkrachtige elderly to the financing of the AOW. At 38% of the Dutch term for this measure exists.

Another possibility is an enlarging of the labour force participation of the elderly. Thus employers' organisation VNO-NCW put recently for to raise the pensionable age of 65 to 67 years. Trade unionism is against this age increase. They want correctly the age group between 55 and 65 years to the work to keep, advanced as less people resigns is also raised (early retirement) the labour force participation, the FNV thinks.

Aow-gat
The AOW pension is built in fifty years. Altitude is inferred of netto-minimumloon and paid monthly. The employment history or the financial position is not important. Also queen Beatrix gets AOW. The amount of the benefit, however, dependent on the number of years that has you in the Netherlands has been spent. Each year the Netherlands means 2% less advancements and with that also a benefit which 2% is more lower. A growing group, particularly foreign 65-plussers lives under the poverty line because they receive no complete AOW benefit. But have also if you tijdje have worked abroad, you Aow-gat. That breach can you by taking measures yourself stop, for example by concluding a life interest or by stipulating a pension scheme at your foreign employer.

When entering lies below the assistance standard, you can qualify for a supplement on the basis of the general assistance law. (Abw). A complete AOW amounts to benefit for a single 65 plusser 70% of the net minimum wage (€ 906.14 in 2003). Single-parent families get 90% (€ 1.122,90), married Aow-gerechtigden 50% (€ 622,26)th Aow-gerechtigden with a partner under 65 which none has or little income, have still up to 2015 right to a partner allowance.

More pensioensparen

Employees can dovetail itself by means of their employer these funds. The pension which they build this way, ensures that the AOW benefit of someone who forty has worked years is completed up to 70% of its last deserved remunerations. Moreover are possible privé-spaarregelingen employees by means of as a life interest - and single premium policies aside put extra money for their pension.
