| description | Mexican system of pension, based on “pay-as-you go” (individual capitalization) persists, though its obvious limitations for keeping the well-being pensioners had during their labor life. The objective of this article is to explain the mechanism behind this social descendent and its subjective legitimacy bases. A simple mathematical model is used for estimating the hypothetical pension fund that an average contributor in Mexico would be able to get. The main results are: a) in Mexico retirement brings a substantial economic descent of pensioners; b) frequently such descent drives to poverty falls for those who were not poor during their labor life. And it concludes that a reasonable explanation for the persistence of this pension system can be found in, both, the changes of distributive justice criteria and in the interge-nerational subjectivities |

El objetivo de este artículo es explicar el mecanismo de este descenso social y de las bases subjetivas que lo legitiman. Se emplea un modelo matemático simple para estimar la pensión de un contribuyente promedio. Los principales resultados son: a) el retiro en México trae consigo un sustancial descenso económico de los pensionados; b) este descenso frecuentemente acarrea caídas en la pobreza para quienes no eran pobres durante su vida laboral. Y se concluye que una explicación razonable para este sistema de pensiones se puede encontrar tanto en los cambios de criterios de justicia distributiva como en las subjetividades intergeneracionales.
