现收现付体系的国家通常被巨额的养老金供给问题困住。
China has had a generous pension scheme that is largely unfunded and runs on a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) basis.中国一直采取慷慨的养老金方案。该方案在很大程度上没有基金储备,以现收现付的形式运作。
Countries with PAYG schemes could raise taxes now, reducing the deficit and thus the debt burden on the younger generations.在现收现付制的国家虽然现今可以通过增加税收来减少赤字,但是这样也增加了青年的一代的负担。
