Private Pension Systems and Policy Issues

Autor: Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (OCDE)
Año: 2000
Resumen: Pension systems are changing the world over. Both OECD and non-OECD countries are coming to face the consequences of demographic changes, and some have already embarked on innovative processes of pension reform. In this new environment, employer and personal pension arrangements are expected to gain much prominence. This new OECD series is devoted to improving our understanding of private pension systems worldwide. It will provide an invaluable tool for academics, policy makers and actors in the private sector who will find in it a reference work on the main issues involved in the design, functioning, and regulation of private pension plans. This first volume provides an overview of recent developments in the private pension systems of four OECD countries (Hungary, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States) as well as an analysis of institutional investors in Latin America. It also addresses policy issues such as the design of private pension systems and actuarial, solvency and bankruptcy issues.

Pension restructuring in Central and Eastern Europe: an analysis of recent trends. [Special topic:] Social protection: what workers and trade unions

Autor: Fultz, Elaine; Ruck, Markus
Año: 2000
Resumen: The restructuring of national pension schemes has been a major and contentious issue in most Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries in recent years. The reforms being pursued involve both reducing pension scheme costs and making benefits more individualized and related to earnings, thereby departing from the universal and redistributive pension policies of the former socialist governments. In addition, some countries – i.e., Hungary and Poland – have adopted so-called radical reforms which partially replace public pension schemes with mandatory systems of commercially-managed individual savings accounts. The result of these changes is growing differentiation both within and between countries in the extent of old age protection provided. This paper describes these reforms and identifies a set of early patterns in their implementation. The analysis has three parts. The first provides background, portraying the pension schemes which were inherited by CEE governments, the impact of the transition, and the expected role of demographic changes in coming decades. Part two describes the reforms undertaken across the region during the 1990s. These are discussed in two broad categories, restructuring of public schemes and privatization, and a set of early implementation patterns is identified. The third part draws conclusions and offers recommendations for strengthening pension policy deliberations.
