The following paper analyses the sustainability of the Peruvian ''Pay as You Go System'' which is provided by the Government. In Peru, the ''Pay as you Go System'' coexists with Private Pension Funds or ''Fully Funded Pension''. Sometimes both systems compete with each other with advantages and disadvantages between them. We found that ''Pay as You Go System'' cannot be sustainable over a long period of time. In addition, based on a comparative analysis of advantages and disadvantages, we propose some recommendations to make Private Pension Funds (Fully Funded Pension) the best alternative to Pay as You Go System. ***** Este trabajo analiza la sostenibilidad del sistema pensional colectivo implementado por el gobierno peruano. En Peru, este sistema coexiste con el de fondos privados de pensiones o fondo individual. En algunos casos, estos dos sistemas compiten entre si, con sus ventajas y desventajas entre ambos sistemas. Segun nuestros hallazgos, el sistema pensional de reparto colectivo de pensiones no es sostenible en un largo plazo. Asimismo, sobre la base de un analisis comparativo de las ventajas y desventajas entre ambos sistemas, se formulan algunas recomendaciones para que los fondos privados de pension (Sistema Individual) se conviertan en la mejor alternativa al sistema pensional colectivo.
