Evaluation of the reform in public hospital nurses’ careers and pensions: A microsimulation approach

Evaluation of the reform in public hospital nurses’ careers and pensions: A microsimulation approach - 2021.
8
The 2010 reform of the status of nurses in the French public hospital sector ended early retirement in exchange for an upgrading of pay scales. We provide an ex ante evaluation of this reform by comparing careers and pensions under the previous and current systems, using the Canopee microsimulation model for local civil servants and public hospital employees. At the individual level, over a nurse’s retired lifetime, the pension increase (27 % on average for an annual salary increase of 1.3 %) more than offsets the postponement of the retirement age (3.6 years). The outcome for the pension system as a whole depends on the discount assumptions. JEL Classification: H55, J26, J31, L97
