Abstract

This paper is interested in the question of the social pensions. In Morocco a big part of the elderly in Morocco perceives no pension and no transfer of any form. To solve the problem of the poverty of the elderly persons passes by the implementation of a social pension. This article is dedicated in particular, on examination of the situation of the elderly in Morocco, in review of literature of the effects of the social pensions and in micro-simulation, in the case of Morocco, effects of the introduction of a social pension. The results show that the implementation of a social pension of an equivalent amount at the poverty line allows to eradicate the poverty of the elderly and to reduce the disparities. This policy is all the more interesting as its cost does not seem exaggerated. When this pension is targeted its cost is 0.33 % of the GDP.
