This book provides a much-needed introductory guide to the issues
surrounding pension policy, not just in the UK but worldwide, and
offers a critique of some of the dominant ideas and assumptions.
Noting the intense debate that currently surrounds the subject, the
book explores a wider view of the continuing issues about pension
policy. It draws attention to an ideological 'fault-line' running
through pensions policy, between a dominant view of pensions as
deferred earnings on the one hand and a view of them as providers
of an adequate income to enable elderly people to participate fully
in society on the other. It argues for more attention to that
second perspective, as an aspect of the search for a satisfactory
work/ life balance. Critical of the many 'quick fix' approaches to
the topic, the author attacks 'the demographic time bomb thesis'
for its crude assumptions about the future burden of the old and
exposes naive assumptions about what can be achieved by pension
funding. This book offers an excellent analysis for the general
reader and provides an authoritative supplementary text for courses
in social policy. Policy and Politics in the Twenty-First Century
This exciting series offers a guide through some of today's most
hotly contested policy issues by distinguished leaders in the
field. Each book untangles current policy debates, looking behind
the rhetoric and spin to discover what is at the core of
contemporary political agendas. Authors present their own
perspectives and make recommendations for what could - or should -
be our priorities for future policy reform.
