Abstract
This study is designed to analyze the national pension premiums for contributors subscribing to the national pension program. It has been found that the non-payment rate is high in people who do not know much about the full pensions they may be entitled to receive. In a Web-based questionnaire survey, the respondents were divided into two groups. One group received a notice as to their pension benefits, and the other group did not. The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the difference in payments between the two groups, and the highest possible amount of payments allowable for national pension premiums were also examined in both groups. The results indicate that (1) the notice of pension benefits decreased the potential limit of pension payment for those who expected higher pension benefits, and (2) the notice had a positive effect on raising the potential limit of pension premiums.
