CIPPEC’s Laspina Calls for Fast, Consensus-Driven Pension Reform in Argentina

A sharp fall in births is shrinking the pool of workers who can support a growing retired population.

Overview

  • Luciano Laspina, executive director of the policy institute CIPPEC, said pension reform is one of Argentina’s most pressing tasks.
  • He warned that the birth rate has dropped steeply, which is increasing pressure on a system with rising costs as the population ages.
  • He urged broad political agreement to advance changes he called socially sensitive and essential for long-term stability.
  • Laspina noted the topic sits on the government’s agenda and said CIPPEC is in contact with ministries on social and education work.
  • He described an economy growing at two speeds, with winners and lagging sectors, and argued reform should aim for a fairer and more inclusive system.
