Overview

An examination of the important, but little known, involvement of employers' and workers' organizations, academics, professionals and experts in developing and reforming public pension policy. It illustrates the variety of approaches that can be taken to pensions by analyzing the schemes of seven industrialized countries: the USA, the UK, Germany, Japan, Sweden, Italy and Spain. In doing so, the book shows how these groups and consultative bodies work - in conjunction with government administrations - to run national pension systems. Briefly outlining the public pension scheme and the current legislation in each country, the study reviews the mechanisms and institutional structures involved in the conception and implementation of reforms. It cites examples of the most important reforms and demonstrates how the process works, and it highlights common features from which useful lessons can be learned.
