The shock of 280 billion yen in “abandoned pensions” [Economics column]
2024-07-20 23:06:00
The number of people joining "corporate defined contribution pension plans (DC)" is increasing due to growing interest in asset management and the need to prepare for retirement. This is a type of corporate pension where the company pays the contributions and the member manages the plan. However, care must be taken when changing jobs or retiring early. Many people do not take the necessary steps, and as a result, there have been a series of cases where hard-earned assets have been left unused. The total amount of these pensions, which cannot be managed and have been left "abandoned," so to speak, is said to be 280 billion yen. (Makata Kentaro, Economics Department)
