Pension systems, that have had the brightest period almost all over the world after World War II, began to have some difficulties with accessing maturity times of these systems. Financial crisis and doubts about the sustainability have caused countries to revise their pension systems. As a result, many countries have applied multi pillar pension system which was developed by the World Bank in 1994. Second pillar pension system (SPPS) is the second step of the multi pillar pension system. Today, longevity risk is one of the series problems that faced by pension systems because of the increasing life expectancies especially in the last few decades. Longevity risk refers to the uncertainty surrounding future developments in mortality and life expectancy. The aim of this study, to analyze all aspects of SPPS and longevity risk on this system, and also to evaluate the longevity risk on pensions in Turkey. For these purposes, firstly, pension systems and longevity risk are explained in detail. And then, SPPS pensions are calculated in 2057 when insured persons were assumed to retire. For pension calculations, gender specific life tables are generated with Lee-Carter Method. Then,Monte Carlo Simulation is applied in order to measure the longevity risk on pensions. Finally, sensitivity analysis are done to see the time effect on SPPS pensions.

The purpose of the thesis is to demonstrate the validity of David Harvey’s argument that neoliberalism is a class project in relation to the transformation of pension systems in the countries of the South that have been forced by the International Financial Institutions since the 1980s. The proposed reform has tried to be justified by a discourse that has emphasized the need for sustainable pension systems in the face of population ageing while population ageing has indeed been one of the most important dem...
Secure mail gateway
Tanık, Güven Orkun; Özgit, Attila; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
Past few decades witnessed the birth and explosive growth of the internet and the communications –most notably the electronic mail- through it. Studies indicate that although security measures are deployed, their usage is very limited and problematic. This work proposes a system to address some of the shortcomings of present mail security systems, such as underutilization, complicated key management and unwanted immunization against filtering-scanning. A two-layer message encryption scheme with domain level...

Yıldırım Külekci, Bükre (null; 2019-10-28)
Over the last 100 years, there has been a steady decline in mortality rates. With the unexpected decrease in death rates; variability in the age of death declined and deaths are concentrated to the older years of life, therefore, causing deficits in the pooled funds of insurance and pension providers, which are built upon the underestimated rates. To correctly measure the effect of mortality rates on the financial stability of these providers, longevity risk should be taken seriously. This study aims to inv...
