In this book a distinguished group of contributors discuss the
changing political economy of pension reform. They focus on those
countries which have launched a significant reframing of their
pension system. Each chapter provides a detailed review of recent
pension reforms and offers institutional evidence of the extent to
which these reforms suggest a redirection of the welfare state
towards a more public-private mix of policies. The countries were
selected to represent the variety of new directions which mature
industrial countries as well as countries in transition have taken.
The book brings to light a number of surprising developments. These
include the observation that pension systems do not conform to pure
models of welfare system regimes; that a number of diverse
developments have contributed to the extension of private pensions;
that an emerging pattern of substituting private for public
pensions can be detected but public provision still dominates in
transition economies and that traditional employer-provided private
pension schemes are undergoing significant change. One conclusion
is that the design of the pension scheme may be more important than
the mix of public-private in preventing the growth of inequality
among the aged. This important book will be essential reading for
scholars of economics, public policy, political science and finance
as well as policymakers and practitioners involved in pension
system reform.
