Abstract
The World Bank Pension Reform Primer
aims to provide a comprehensive toolkit for policy makers on
designing and implementing pension reform. It is based on
continuously updated information from countries that have
introduced reforms emphasizing the role of privately-managed
individual retirement accounts. Their experience offers a
number of useful lessons for policy makers elsewhere. The
Bank set out a conceptual framework for fundamental pension
reform in "Averting the Old Age Crisis: Policies to
Protect the Old and Promote Growth". This study,
published in 1994, helped shape the global debate about the
impact of population ageing on pension systems. The Pension
Reform Primer builds on this pioneering work and on the
experience of the Bank, and other international
institutions. It focuses on practical questions.
