The ongoing global financial crisis, coupled with the continued
dramatic increases in life expectancy, have escalated the concerns
countries have regarding the sustainability of their pension
systems and how these retirement schemes will be financed. From
1998 to 2008, close to 30 countries embarked on privatising reforms
to their pension programs. Some of these countries introduced new
pension reforms directed at private individual accounts while
reducing the size of the state social security system. The focus of
other reforms during this period varied but was primarily aimed at
strengthening basic protection for economically at-risk older
individuals, increasing benefit coverage and/or improving the
overall fiscal sustainability of these systems. However, the move
towards greater coverage and sustainability was interrupted by the
world-wide financial meltdown. This has led to a reassessment of
pension systems and reform approaches. This volume was assembled to
review the status of pension reforms globally and to gain a glimpse
of the trends emerging as countries adjust to the new age of
macroeconomic world-wide uncertainty. The chapters in this volume
provide concise, clear and dispassionate discussions on these
trends and reforms as well as frank appraisals of the consequences
of alternative policies. Experts from Europe, the United States and
the emerging economies of Brazil, China and India approach pension
reform and reassessment from different perspectives; however, each
provide forthright analyses and assessment of the consequences of
the "new normal".
