How is the 82% mobility rate calculated?
In September 2011, through Resolution 30/2011 of the Social Security Secretariat, the creation of the “Average Taxable Teacher Remuneration” (RIPDOC) index was established, replacing the “Teacher Salary Variation Coefficient” (CVSD). The purpose of RIPDOC, as explicitly stated in the resolution, was “to transfer the actual salary increases of active teachers to retirement pensions.”
To achieve this, the mechanism established was to observe the variation in contributions made by active teachers registered in the Argentine Integrated Pension System (SIPA). It is important to note that some provinces still maintain their own pension funds, while others have transferred them to the national system. As a result, RIPDOC only affects retired teachers from the 11 jurisdictions that joined SIPA. These are: Buenos Aires City (CABA), Catamarca, Jujuy, La Rioja, Mendoza, Río Negro, Salta, San Juan, San Luis, Santiago del Estero, and Tucumán.
This index-based increase occurs twice a year: the first in March and the second in September. To calculate the March adjustment, salary increases from July to December of the previous year are considered, while for the September adjustment, increases from January to June of the same year are taken into account.
