<dc:description xml:lang="es">Sumario: Differences in life expectancy across socioeconomic status are well known and many economists argue that they should be taken into account when designing pension systems. This paper analyses the relevance of using socioeconomic characteristics to differentiate the retirement age. Using US mortality rates assembled by Chetty et al. (2016), we simulate the lifespan distribution both across and within socioeconomic categories. Then, we analyze these categories' ability to predict the lifespan of individuals. Results suggest that socioeconomic status has a relatively limited predictive power, due to the huge lifespan heterogeneity within each of them.
