The pattern of retirement of personnel of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosi

The present study explores the retirement pattern of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosi (UASLP) employees, taking into account variables such as employee age, worked years, labour category, genre and the UASLP retirement system. The analysed information shows that the retirement pattern has changed in the latter years, as the number of retired teachers increased. There are differences in the time of retirement upon the labour category and the age. The service employees retire earlier and the staff members do it later, due to the type off work they do and the inherent responsibility. Regarding the age, older employees retire later, since the younger ones complete earlier the required time of work, attaining thus the replacement ratio of 100%, % different from those who retire at younger ages. With a greater number of retirees living more years, a significant financial charge over UASLP retirement system is produced, which makes imperative its periodical revision and the search for alternatives that cause employees to stay longer in their jobs, being the flexible retirement a good option.
