Through the essays assembled in Social Security Pension Reform in Europe, Martin Feldstein and Horst Siebert, along with a number of distinguished contributors, discuss the challenges facing Social Security reform in the aging societies of Europe. A remarkable range of European nations-Germany, France, Finland, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Italy, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Hungary-have implemented or are about to implement mixed Social Security systems that combine a traditional defined benefit of the pay-as-you-go system with an individual retirement account defined contribution of a capital-funded system. The essays here highlight the problems that the European pension reform process faces and how it differs from that of the United States. This timely volume will significantly enrich the debate on pension reform worldwide. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 606 $aSocial security$zEurope$vCongresses 606 $aPensions$zEurope$xFinance$vCongresses 606 $aPension trusts$xInvestments$zEurope$vCongresses 606 $aPrivatization$zEurope$vCongresses 610 $asocial security, pension, reform, europe, aging, labor, workforce, ira, retirement, hungary, united kingdom, sweden, italy, romania, poland, netherlands, finland, france, germany, privatization, investment, savings, economics, government, politics, nonfiction, public, private, wealth, assets, defined benefit, prefunding, redistribution, mobility. 615 0$aSocial security 615 0$aPensions$xFinance 615 0$aPension trusts$xInvestments 615 0$aPrivatization 676 $a331.25/22/094 701 $aFeldstein$b Martin S$088785 701 $aSiebert$b Horst$f1938-2009.$0120194 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778071803321 996 $aSocial security pension reform in Europe$93730620 997 $aUNINA
