We were thinking that you could actually use deemed earnings, so maybe earnings when you quit the workforce and increase it with indexing. This already exists in some pension plans when you have a period that you can recognize to that effect with indexing, but you would have a maximum amount of time to do so. But then if you interrupt your work, you cannot be covered by a pension plan. Under the proposed model, you could actually use deemed earnings and contribute on the basis of these deemed earnings.
