針對各國普遍面臨人口結構逐漸老化、退休人口增加問題,世界銀行曾提出應建立至少三層保障的養老制度之呼籲;而我國迄今尚未建構出一套全面性之老年經濟生活安全保障制度,現有退休制度係依國民職業身分作為區分基礎。近幾年政府財政日趨惡化,加以國內經濟景氣不佳,失業率節節升高,公務人員由於工作與薪資相對較為穩定,其退休給付亦較完備;因此,遂引起各界對公務人員退休給付及其條件之合理及公平性的諸多討論。而公務人員退撫基金管理良窳,除攸關公務人員退休權益,亦牽涉政府最後給付責任,在政府可用資源相對減少下,如何防範政治力介入,暨因應現有制度與管理上的若干缺失,避免未來發生嚴重財務危機,均為本研究之重點。
本研究採取文獻探討、比較研究法,並輔以德菲爾法(Delphi Method)、問卷調查等方法,就公平及管理角度檢視現行公務人員退休制度所存在之缺失及具體改進之道。研究結果發現大多數受訪者認為我國對老年經濟生活安全之保障,與個人從事職業別有很大關聯;除軍公教人員以外之其他職域與非工資勞動者的老年經濟生活保障普遍不足,故在制度比較上常衍生出差別性待遇公平性問題;而退撫基金經營決策又常有政治力介入,特別是政經情勢不穩定時,除非逐漸民營化,政府僅擔任監督者角色,否則既使修法明定政府干預、挪用基金等限制條文,只要仍維持現行制度精神,由政府管理,便很難防範政治力介入該基金之實際運作。
基此,本研究提出下述幾點建議:1.政府應致力提升其他職域(身分)人員之老年經濟生活安全保障;2.公務人員請領月退休金年齡條件應予以延後,並適度降低現行給付水準;3.研議增訂彈性退休規定,並研酌展期年金及減額年金之可行性;4.宜朝向「確定給付制」兼採「確定提撥制」混合制方向發展,並逐步提高「確定提撥制」比例及採個人退休金帳戶制;5.修法明確規範退撫基金提撥率之調整機制,以健全基金財務結構;6.宜逐步增加退撫基金國外投資配置比例;7.應研酌未達法定最低收益由國庫補足差額之規定,以免否對資產長期配置造成扭曲;8.對於有價證券之投資應改採市價法評價,以反映基金資產真實價值;9.加強退撫基金財務資訊公開,以利全體投保人之監督;10.現行基金管理與監理組織,可研酌精簡合併為一獨立專業監理機關。11.修法使退撫基金經營管理趨向私有化與自由化。 / To confront the ever growing ageing trend and consequent retirement tide, the World Bank has contended three pillars of old age security over the past few years. The ROC government, however, has not yet launched a national pension scheme to ensure the elderly economic security so far although the Plan has been worked out for some time. The country is currently adopting a retirement system based on people’s occupation. Civil servants all along enjoy relatively sound and stabilized retirement benefits even under the aggravating financial difficulties and the economy recession. Together with the increasing unemployment rate, this phenomenon has augmented a great deal of discussion with regard to its fairness. In addition, since the government has played significant role in terms of Pension Fund Management, how to prevent political intervention and avoid mismanagement particularly during economic crisis certainly deserve close scrutiny.
In light of the aforementioned, this study, based on literature review, survey, and Delphi, focuses on the fairness and management perspectives of the existing pension system for civil servants. It is found that most interviewees agree that civil servants comparatively enjoy better retirement benefits than the rest of the population since the current pension system has been designed on occupational basis. It is further observed by the interviewees that political intervention does exist in terms of Pension Fund Management especially during economic recession. It is thus harbored that perhaps only through “privatization”, such intervention can come to its stop.
The study, among other things, suggests the followings:
1.A national pension scheme covering all people is required.
2.Postponing the age of receiving annuity from the current 50 to a later age and reasonably cutting off some civil servants’ pension benefits need to be addressed.
3.Adding flexibility to current civil servants’ retirement system is worth pondering.
4.Working out a system blending together “defined benefit” and “defined contribution” in which the proportion of “defined contribution” should be gradually enlarged. Thoughts with regard to “individual account” should also be studied.
5.Adjusting the insurance fee for pension fund is necessary in order to ensure financial viability.
6.Bigger proportion of pension funds’ overseas investment should be allowed.
7.Investment in securities should be evaluated with market price to reflect the actual value of fund assets.
8.Pension funds management report should be released to the general public for supervision.
9.Professional pension fund supervision mechanism has to be established.
10.Law provisions as to privatize and liberalize the pension fund need to be worked out.
