Pension systems in most developed countries are considered to be the largest non-banking financial institutions and can be an effective factor for economic growth and development in addition to ensuring social welfare, especially during old age. In Iran, the discussion of pension reforms for many years due to different reasons, major challenges caused by demographic changes, aging population, decrease in fertility rate, increase in life expectancy and fundamental changes in the labor market such as unemployment, decrease in the quality and quantity of jobs and the expansion of the informal economy are the major concerns of policy makers. This article analyzes and simulates Iran's social security system in the framework of general equilibrium by using the three-period overlapping generations model. The optimal consumption and saving behavior and the level of people's utility are different during the lifetime under different pension systems. The simulation results show that the full savings system has a higher physical capital accumulation than the current payment pension system, which leads to higher national consumption and national production in the full savings system.
