PUBLIC PENSIONS SYSTEM PARAMETERS""; ""APPENDIX II. LIFE EXPECTANCY""; ""APPENDIX III. TAXATION AND BENEFITS RELATED TO JOB STATUS""The labor participation rate in Slovenia has been lower than in the EU-15 (the members states prior to May 2004), particularly for the low-income and older individuals. Using simulations of tax and social benefits and public pensions, the paper shows how the current tax, welfare, and pension systems create disincentives to work among these groups. The paper finds that incentives to retire early are strong for men, especially low-wage earners. The marginal effective tax rates also make it costly for low-income individuals to work and negatively affect the probability of participating. The paper proposes reform measures to enhance work incentives and labor participation, which will be crucial for dealing with population aging and for achieving higher potential growth in Slovenia.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/298Labor supplySloveniaPublic welfareSloveniaIncome taxSloveniaPensionsSloveniaEarly retirementSloveniaLaborimfMacroeconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfNonwage Labor Costs and BenefitsimfPrivate PensionsimfWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: GeneralimfSocial Security and Public PensionsimfLabor Economics: GeneralimfRetirementimfRetirement PoliciesimfLabourimfincome economicsimfPensionsimfWagesimfPension spendingimfLabor economicsimfSlovenia, Republic ofimfLabor supplyPublic welfareIncome taxPensionsEarly retirementLaborMacroeconomicsPublic FinanceNonwage Labor Costs and BenefitsPrivate PensionsWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: GeneralSocial Security and Public PensionsLabor Economics: GeneralRetirementRetirement PoliciesLabourincome economicsPensionsWagesPension spendingLabor economicsEgoume Bossogo Philippe1670362Tuladhar Anita1670363International Monetary Fund.European Dept.DcWaIMFBOOK9910813816303321Tax, Welfare, and Pension Reforms in Slovenia4032175UNINA
