The Mexican pension system today
This chapter succinctly describes the Mexican pension system. The Mexican pension system is mainly based on funded defined contribution individual accounts introduced in 1997 for private-sector workers and in 2007 for public-sector workers. The public pension component consists of the old pay-as-you-go defined benefit pension system, which still covers workers who entered the labour market before the introduction of funded defined contribution individual accounts, a minimum guaranteed pension and an alternative means-tested non-contributory pension for people older than 65.
