Pension reform is an important topic,
high on the agendas of most European countries, where
countries are profoundly affected by an aging population,
the result of lower fertility, and increased life
expectancy, changes in family structure, and the effects of
globalization. The book presents seven papers on the
political economy of European pension reform, where clearly,
major reforms are needed, to ensure the sustainability of
retirement income systems. However, reform programs will
need to combine measures to delay retirement; introduce
changes in the benefit structure; and, diversify the sources
of retirement income, to better balance individuals'
risks. Subjects address the need to accelerate the European
pension reform agenda, and compares the making of pension
privatization in Latin America with that in Eastern Europe.
Furthermore, subjects look at democracy and structural
pension reform in continental Europe, focusing on the aging
population, the electoral behavior, and early retirement
impacts, on the basis of commitment, and consensus - or the
lack thereof - to pension reform. Most interestingly, one of
the subjects questions, and further analyzes, the wide
differences of social policy models among transition
economies, to finalize with a look at the diffusion of
pension innovation. These subjects provide insight into the
process, and progress of European pension reform, to the
benefit of the reform agenda in other regions as well. |
