“…From a policy perspective, how to foster income protection for an aging population is a key social policy challenge in a world with a rapidly growing older population. Coverage gaps are observed in formal insurance programs, and informal protection mechanisms face obstacles as a result of changing family patterns (Hujo, 2014).…”

We examine voluntary private pension funds and their relationship to capital market development. Using data from Turkey, we analyse depth, efficiency and liquidity indicators of capital markets after the introduction of voluntary private pension funds in 2003. Overall, our findings indicate that the introduction of voluntary private pension plans are positively associated with indicators of capital market development, focusing on market depth (such as market capitalisation and trading volume) in both debt and equity markets. We also observe that indicators for other more recently established markets are also positively associated with the introduction of voluntary pension plans. In contrast, equity market turnover shows a negative association. These findings, along with the positive association with the corporate governance index, suggest that pension funds are important for capital market development and for corporate governance of firms as they are long-term investors. However, the introduction of state contributions in 2013 is not robust to alternative specifications.

The population aging in the region is occurring under scenarios of inequality, raising concerns about how the increase in life expectancy is experienced and what factors affect the quality of life of older adults. This research quantified the differentials of healthy aging in Colombia in 2018 and its association with social indicators through a cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational observational study. Healthy aging was quantified using the Disability-Free Life Expectancy (DFLE) indicator and later correlated with social indicators and subjected to a Multiple Factor Analysis (MFA). The results showed a healthy life expectancy of 71.5 years for women and 66.9 years for men, with a disability expectancy of 8.3 and 6.4 years, respectively. Negative associations emerged with health problems, disability, lack of medical care, illiteracy, school absenteeism, and poverty, while higher education levels and retirement showed positive associations. The factor analysis by area of residence highlighted urban areas as conducive to healthy aging. In conclusion, the accelerated aging of the Colombian population faces health disparities that policies must address by improving education, economic security, and health services, especially for women and rural areas.
