The Taiwan government implemented a new labor pension scheme in July 2005. Compared to the old scheme, the new scheme requires employers to give employees at least 6% of wages to the employee’s personal retirement account. This paper uses data from the 2003–2004 and 2006–2007 Manpower Utilization Survey and conducts differences-indifferences estimation to investigate the impact of the new labor pension scheme on workers’ wages. The results show that the new scheme reduces workers’ wages by about 5.92%, which is close to the compulsory rate of 6% paid by employers. Our analyses show that employers may fully shift the cost of the pension to employees. |
