  abstract = {{T}his article discusses the interactions among pension reform, labor market and inter-generational distribution issues through an overlapping general equilibrium approach with imperfect labor markets. {W}orkers with different ages are imperfectly substitutable and wages do not clear labor markets. {I}ncreasing contribution rates has a strong negative effect on welfare and unemployment, particularly, for the youth. {C}ontrary to the popular wisdom, postponing the retirement age does not entail an increase in youth unemployment. {T}he change in incentives induces a substitution of old-age workers by young workers who constitute the cheapest labor category. {H}owever, this scenario substantially increases the implicit tax for older workers as well as for the youngest. {F}inally, the middle-aged are those that benefit the most from welfare increasing reforms.},
