Description - Social Security Reform in Advanced Countries by Toshihiro Ihori
Increasingly ageing populations and a slowing rate of growth in the macroeconomy are forcing advanced countries to reconsider their social security programmes. The need for detailed examination of the possible reforms and initiatives has never been greater. This book brings together internationally-renowned scholars to evaluate the effect of recent social security reforms in advanced countries (pension programmes in particular) and to suggest policy reforms for the future. Considering both theoretical and empirical aspects, the contributors evaluate three different policy reforms in order to address the problems common in developed nations: The shift from pay-as-you-go to funded systems The privatisation of public pension systems The contribution of tax revenues to social security benefits is suggested. Including detailed studies of countries including Australia, Germany, Japan, Scandinavia, the UK and the USA, this book will be of essential interest to economists and policy-makers working in pension financing reform, and public economics more generally.
