I’m amazed that almost half *trust* it. I mean, given demographics, it’s quite obviously a ponzi scheme that will collapse in future unless something radically changes. I guess those due to retire soon could support higher premiums now, but for those looking decades in the future it just seems like even more money to pay they won’t get to benefit from.
it’s ok /r/korea said population decline is fake news and it’s all fine. national pension will magically be a-ok because it all just works out
Question–
I’ve read that people can sign up for The National Pension here if not getting it through their work
(self employed, freelancer etc).. do we reckon this is a good/essential move if considering to stay long term?
Unfortunately don’t have a Pension as of now. Was on the private teachers pension for a good while and got a lump sum back but would like some kind of long term investment here..
Would love to hear anything tips on this.. if the NPS is not recommended then what would be?
The only people who like it are either reciving it now or will receive it soon.
>Under the revised National Pension Act, passed by the National Assembly in March through bipartisan agreement, the contribution rate will gradually increase from the current 9 percent to 13 percent by 2033, starting in 2026.
For those who will be working after 2025, they are increasing our paycheck contribution from 4.5 to 6.5%
>The nominal income replacement rate, which measures the ratio of pension benefits to pre-retirement income, will also rise from 41.5 percent this year to 43 percent in 2026.
However they are increasing the payout for everyone, including people who will not have to pay more. So they are barely fixing the depletion issue.
How is this fair?
