Summary:

Government-mandated pension and retirement policies have changed dramatically during the past decade. Pensions at a Glance presents a consistent framework for comparing public-pension policies across OECD countries, as well as reliable data. The report thus provides the basis for not only evaluating existing pension systems, but also designing and implementing future reforms. This second edition updates in-depth information on the key features of mandatory pension systems-both public and private--in the 30 OECD countries, including projections of retirement income for today's workers. Two new and important sections have been added to this edition: 1) description and analysis of pension reform in OECD countries during the past decade; and 2) a closer look at the complex range of private, voluntary retirement plans now playing a greater role in pension provision in many OECD countries, including an analysis of the private savings effort required to maintain standards of living during retirement.
