| dc.description.abstract | The evolution of economic theory about the measurement of national income was
consolidated in technical and conceptual scaffolding named national accounting. At
first the United Nations Organization, and currently five international organizations,
working directly in the development of international guidelines on national
accounts, the harmonization of macroeconomic statistical systems has brought that
the updating of the System of National Accounts generates a corresponding
update of other manual methods, to stand as the guiding system.
The present study discusses the importance of implementing the System of
National Accounts, in its version approved in 2008, for the treatment and
measurement of social insurance system, in its segments of pensions an non
pensions, within the set of measurements that form the accounts by institutional
sector of the System of National Accounts of Mexico; with the aim of concluding
the distribution secondary income and strengthen the measurement of household
sector saving and the total economy, as the best alternative to maintaining
macroeconomic measurements that follow the evolution of the country, place, date
and consistent with a globalized economic environment.
The measurements that were developed based on new manual of methods for
transactions on pensions an non pensions allow to observe that while the
dynamics of the circuit of pension has major effects on the balance of saving of the
household sector and the total of the economy, contributions and benefits of non
pensions, or health system, have an impact only on the distribution of resources in
the form of transfers.
The new methodological recommendations make it possible to do measurements
that permit to follow the evolution and transformation of Mexico's pension system,
from a sharing approach to a defined contribution one. The more important legal
reforms of social security institutions in the country have redefined the structure of
pensions and their mode of operation, and since this transformation it is necessary
to do a conceptual and statistical review for its quantification. These developments
xvii
were made and presented in a new statistical tool called supplementary pension
table, which is a distillation of high analytical data.
The implementation of the new guidelines of the SNA 2008 to the statistical
information available on the social security system of Mexico, through the
development of appropriate measurement methods is desirable, considering that
extends the current data set that actually offers the System of National Accounts of
Mexico. | |
