Summary: | This paper presents and explains cross
country data for mandatory publicly and privately managed
pension systems around the world. Relevant World Bank
demographic projections and other indicators previously
reported in International Patterns of Pension Provision
(2000) are updated, and relationships between key indicators
are highlighted. For more than a decade, the World Bank has
compiled and maintained a database on pension systems around
the world. The process of collecting data began in the
early 1990s when the Bank's first major research volume
on the subject was published. Subsequently, expanding World
Bank lending and technical assistance on pensions resulted
in the collection of additional information, particularly in
Eastern Europe and Latin America. In addition to providing
more recent data, this update includes new and standardized
information on system parameters. The aim of this document
is to capture much of the relevant cross-country information
and indicators. This is intended to provide decision makers
with a general view of the current patterns of pension
provision worldwide to support their efforts to develop
well-informed frameworks for implementing and/or reforming
pension systems. |
