This paper describes and quantifies several factors which could magnify the challenge of pension reform. First, for some ECCU countries, continued emigration at historical rates would considerably advance the projected date at which pension scheme assets are depleted. Second, there is a significant risk that assets will underperform, given the large exposures to the highly-leveraged public sector and to a lesser extent the record with private sector investments. Third, portfolio diversification away from the public sector could be complicated by age-related pressure for greater central government health spending. 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/09/38. 606 $aPensions 615 0$aPensions. 676 $a332.4;332.497294 700 $aMonroe$b Hunter$01654499 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827088003321 996 $aCan the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union Afford to Grow Old$94006369 997 $aUNINA
