Private pensions and the extension of the working age

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperConference Paper

Abstract

The issue of retirement income provision and demographic aging is a crisis that looms large in the minds of policy makers and conventional economists across the OECD economies. The most recent incarnation of the crisis has developed into a debate about extending official retirement ages. This change of emphasis away from the reorganisation of retirement systems and on to the actual age of retirement is significant. Not only does it signal a failure of current retirement policies to solve the problem of retirement provision and aging, but also, more importantly, it redefines the retirement-aging issue.
