Pension-benefit expenditures: Public and private

Payments from private pension schemes were worth 1.6% of gross domestic product (GDP) on average in 2009 in the 25 OECD countries for which data are available. This is equivalent to a fifth of average public spending on retirement benefits. Private-pension payments increased 27% faster than GDP between 1990 and 2009.
