This new book provides a cross-country comparative analysis of the
key issues shaping the latest pension reforms in Europe: political
games, welfare models and pathways, population reactions, and
observed and expected outcomes.
Pension reform has been a top policy priority for European
governments in the last decade. Ageing populations, changing labour
market patterns and the process of European integration are the
'irresistible forces' pushing for reform throughout the region.
The Political Economy of Pension Reform evaluates the political
forces that make pension reform viable in different national and
institutional contexts and the nature of political bargains, actors
and cleavages surrounding policy change. The volume also examines
the nature and outcomes of pension reform experiences in Europe,
searching for a solution to the financial challenge posed by
growing pension budgets. By addressing the nature of change, the
pathways of reform, and the outcomes of the new pension mix in the
region, the authors conclude with an analysis of people's
perceptions and attitudes towards pension policy and their
acceptance or otherwise of different reform options.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of
international political economy, European politics, and social
policy.
