OverviewA reference for anyone concerned with reforming or establishing pension programmes and for those looking to understand the practicalities and structure behind various pension schemes. By providing a balanced assessment and factual review of what various countries around the world have done, this volume seeks to assist decision-makers in forming effective, variable pension policy. Discussing not only the current situation in pension schemes, the book also considers the analytical social and economic consequences which arise from different pension structures. The study avoids taking sides, but instead illustrates what has worked and not worked in the various countries covered. It examines the practicalities of running a pension scheme and provides numerous examples, summaries and quantitative information. It examines administrative regulations and procedures used to collect contributions, to pay pensions, to invest reserves and to set various formulae which determine contributor and benefit rates.
