Abstract

The sustainability of defined benefit pension plans relies heavily on effective funding strategies. This study aims to develop an optimized funding strategy for Defined Benefit Pension Plans by integrating the Entry Age Normal (EAN) method with the Single Salary Approach (SSA). The Entry Age Normal method provides a systematic way to distribute the cost of pension benefits over the career of employees, ensuring long-term stability. Meanwhile, the Single Salary Approach simplifies salary projections, making it easier to manage fund contributions while accounting for future wage inflation. To evaluate the effectiveness of this integrated approach, we conducted a case study using salary and pension fund data collected from internal records at Institut Teknologi Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie (ITH), a higher education institution. Through a series of simulations and sensitivity analyses, we demonstrate that integrating these methods not only minimizes funding volatility but also improves the accuracy of pension liabilities estimation. For instance, at age 25.83, the actuarial liability is Rp 38,929,501, reflecting a relatively low liability at a younger age. As employees approach retirement, the liability increases significantly. At age 47.17, the liability reaches Rp 191,823,284, demonstrating the impact of salary growth and length of service on future benefits. Additionally, for the same age of 25.83, the actuarial liability under SSA-EAN is Rp 37,980,001, which is slightly lower than the EAN estimate. Pension benefits projected under SSA-EAN are also slightly lower than those under EAN, indicating potential cost savings. The findings provide a viable framework for pension plan administrators seeking to achieve both financial sustainability and predictability in managing pension obligations. By integrating SSA with EAN, this study offers a practical solution that addresses key challenges in the actuarial valuation of defined benefit plans, ensuring more stable and predictable pension funding.

Abstract

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Indonesia is the country with the second highest number of tuberculosis cases after India. The Ministry of Health stated that there has been a significant increase in cases of tuberculosis among children in Indonesia where the increase in cases of tuberculosis among children has reached more than 200 percent. The number of TB cases can be reduced if the factors that affect the number of TB patients are known. Therefore, efforts should be made to model the number of cases of Tuberculosis among children under five years of age to provide useful information to prevent and control Tuberculosis. The relationship between these factors and the number of people with Tuberculosis can be determined using Poisson regression analysis because the number of cases of Tuberculosis is calculated data. Tuberculosis data contain overdispersion, so another approach is used to overcome it, which is by using a negative binomial regression model. The best model obtained based on the AIC value is the Negative Binomial regression model with an AIC value of 184.095. For further research, it is suggested to test the spatial effect and modeling using the Negative Binomial geographic weighted regression method to find out whether the characteristics of one region and the other influence the geographic location on the model.
