Abstract
This report, Argentina facing the
challenge of ageing and social security, is structured in
five parts that follow the introduction and summary of main
findings. Part I presents a conceptual framework for
decision makers charged with crafting policies for old age
income security, and describes the evolution and structure
of Argentina's pension institutions. Part II presents
the findings of the household empirical analysis using
existing surveys and the new data from the ETEEP, including
the importance of pensions to household income and poverty,
the micro-determinants of coverage, and the viability of
other income security strategies for the most vulnerable.
Part III focuses solely on policies and programs designed to
ensure minimum income and cover poverty in old age,
presenting estimates of the fiscal cost of proposals made by
the principal actors and stake-holders in the pension reform
debate. Part IV examines the main pension policy issues in
this debate and places these issues in international
context. Part V presents some options for the Government and
stakeholders to consider as Argentina enters a more detailed
and deliberate phase of defining pension reform.
