PUBLIC POLICY FOR PENSIONS REFORM: A GOVERNANCE CHALLENGE FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND DEVELOPMENT: INTRODUCTION TO THE SPECIAL ISSUE

摘要

Reform of pensions policies is a priority public policy issue around the world. It is high on the agenda across Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, transitional and developing countries alike. The individual country circumstances and drivers of reform may differ, as do the policy directions chosen, but there are also common factors and opportunities for cross-country learning. These relate not only to technical aspects of pension system design but also to the processes of policy and administrative reform and to issues of development. For PAD, they raise questions about ideas, interests and institutions, as well as about specific pension system design.
