For more than fifty years, pensions have been the subject of
academic enquiry and controversy. Debates have raged over, amongst
other things, the need for pensions, the means by which they might
be delivered, their implications for the public finances, their
impact on an individual's employment motivations and their
significance for national and global capital markets. These
debates, and others, have spawned a vast and disparate literature.
Currently, the issue that most often exercises the minds of
academics and policy makers is that of pension reform. It is widely
recognized that decades of social and economic change have rendered
obsolete the pension arrangements in many developed and developing
countries. The question of what now constitutes an appropriate set
of pension arrangements is, however, far from settled. Opinions are
divided over whether existing national pension systems can be
modified to make them fit contemporary needs and circumstances, or
whether they should be jettisoned in favour of something entirely
different. Central to the analysis of many issues in pension
provision is the universal phenomenon of population ageing. Around
the world, falling birth rates and rising life expectancy are
raising the ratio of elderly to working-age people. For several
decades the literature on pensions and population ageing has been
extremely negative. Recently, though, a series of books and papers
have appeared which argue for a more benign, less pessimistic,
interpretation of population ageing. The papers and articles
included in each volume of this new Routledge Major Work have been
selected so as to reflect the multi-dimensional nature of the
subject and the interest it has aroused internationally. With a
full index and an introduction newly written by the editor, this
four-volume collection is a unique and valuable research resource
for both student and scholar alike.
