This book explores how rising pension and healthcare costs, along
with workforce aging, are affecting pension and retirement planning
around the world. Many middle-aged workers now realize that they
will have to work longer than intended, as they begin to recognize
that their retirement resources will be inadequate to finance
retirement consumption. Volatile capital markets, rising
medical-care costs, and low saving rates make retirement behavior
and policy a moving target. Olivia Mitchell, executive director of
The Pension Research Council at Wharton, and Robert L. Clark,
Professor of Business Management and Economics at North Carolina
State University, explore these themes with colleagues, touching on
a diverse set of issues ranging from employment trends to pension
accounting and investment, to retirement system overhaul. They
illustrate how employers are actively reformulating the meaning of
work and retirement, seeking to encourage more people to work
longer than ever before in the face of projected labor shortages.
At the same time, public and private trust in traditional pension
offerings is rapidly eroding, as companies alter, amend, and
terminate their conventional plans in the face of poor investment
performance and new methods of pension accounting. Experts from the
UK, the US, Japan, Sweden, and Canada offer international
perspectives on the evolving institutions of retirement practice.
This book provides readers a range of insights and strategies not
available in other volumes, and it represents an invaluable
addition to the PRC/OUP series. It will be particularly valuable
for managers working toward more efficient pension plans; to
scholars and policymakers seeking to maximize pension design and
effectiveness; and to actuaries and tax specialists concerned with
pension regulation. The Pension Research Council at the Wharton
School of the University of Pennsylvania was founded 50 years ago
to encourage research and teaching on pensions and retirement
security. Council projects address the long-term issues that
underlie contemporary concerns and seek to broaden public
understanding of these complex arrangements through research into
their social, economic, legal, actuarial, and financial foundations
of privately and publicly-provided benefits.
