Recenzje

'Pensions have become an extremely important part of the social system in many countries as life spans increased and people moved away from extended families. The pension systems that flourished in many countries are now in a state of decline. This book provides an important perspective as it looks at what has happened in ten countries and offers policy options for the future.' Anna M. Rappaport, Anna Rappaport Consulting
