The pension landscape includes various types of plans around the world. These plans may finance the future benefits of retirees through different vehicles (such as pension funds, reserves in employers' book, pension insurance contracts, bank or investment company managed funds). They may be publicly or privately administered, mandatory or voluntary, occupational or personal, defined benefit (DB) or defined contribution (DC), for public or private-sector workers.
This dataset shows the split of assets by type of vehicle. It also includes the split of occupational pension assets between DB and DC plans. Users can also find the amount of assets in occupational and personal plans, as well as assets in DB and DC plans expressed as a percentage of GDP.
