본 논문에서는 사학연금의 수급-부담 구조에 대한 실증자료를 제공할 목적으로 사학연금 가입연도 및 가입기간에 따른 수익비를 제시한다. 이에 따르면 전반적으로 가입시기가 늦어질수록 그리고 가입기간이 길어질수록 수익비는 감소하여 몇 차례의 사학연금법 개혁이 저부담·고급여 체계를 상당 부분 완화하였음을 알 수 있다. 더불어 저소득자의 수익비가 고소득자의 수익비에 비해 높아 2015년 개혁 시 도입된 소득재분배 효과를 확인할 수 있다. 하지만 현 제도 하에서도 사망률 감소에 따른 연금수급기간의 연장으로 수익비가 1보다 높은 것으로 나타나 연금재정에 큰 위협으로 파악된다. 다만 수익비는 그 계산에 있어 요구되는 여러 가지 가정에 따라 수치가 크게 달라질 수 있으므로 타공적연금과의 비교 시 이에 대한 각별한 유의가 필요하다. 또한 수익비는 수급-부담 구조를 나타내는 지표일 뿐 공적연금제도 본연의 기능인 노후소득보장 정도를 알려주기에는 한계가 있음에 유념해야 한다.

Recently, Korean government documented the plan to cope with the situation related to rich pensioners of Basic old-age pension. The purpose of this paper is to verify that how many rich pensioners are existing and to evaluate government reform plan's validity and effect. Main results are as follows; firstly, if the definition of rich pensioners is on the top 10%, the proportion of them would form 2.9% of total. And then, an amount of expenditure for them is only 2.6% of total. Secondly, in terms of disposable income, debt, and transfer income from child, the household who would be applied by government's plan is not richer than other household who is in the same living standard. And then, if the government's plan enforced, the effect might be very small. Lastly, the plan of government will discriminate against persons who support their parent. As a result, Basic old-age pension will be worsen. This paper should underline that the government's reform is only the 'hidden' retrenchment strategy in order to introduce a standard of the obligation to support own parent in the state without scientific prediction and serious discussion of negative public opinion. That is why, this is the same as the 'Trojan Horse'.
