Presenting a periodic overview of the most significant
developments and trends in the field of social security has become,
for the International Social Security Association, a tradition and
a firm commitment. Benefiting from the vast quantity of information
uniquely available to the ISSA, its triennial review takes stock of
the current state of social security world wide and focuses,
through expert analyses, on some of the most pressing social
security issues. Social Security at the Dawn of the 21st Century,
the outcome of the most recent review, is intended to significantly
extend the access of an international readership to accurate and
up-to-date information and analyses on social security, which has
without question developed during the twentieth century into one of
the most important publicly financed and administered institutions
in modern society. The chapters are grouped into two parts. Part
one treats subjects related to policy trends and regional
developments, with special emphasis on such important issues as
redesigning social security programs, new management practices, and
the informal care dilemma. It features major aspects of
developments in Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Part two focuses on
specific program areas, with special emphasis on problems and
reforms in employment policy, pension systems, and public
disability schemes. Information is also provided on new approaches
to ensuring adequate access to health care and on policies in
response to changes in family structures as well as an recent
experience with social assistance programs. Dalmer D. Hoskins has
held the post of Secretary General of the International Social
Security Association (ISSA) since 1990. Before his election to this
post, he held positions in the United States Social Security
Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services.
