Keeping the Promise of Social Security in Latin America

"A heavyweight analysis of the Latin American pension revolution, which raises important questions about the optimal scale of compulsory saving when redesigning pension systems."Paul Wallace,The Economist "Although it maintains the fundamental principles of Averting the Old Age Crisis, published by the World Bank in 1994, Keeping the Promise takes a fresh look at the outcome of structural pension reforms implemented in 12 Latin American countries during the 1990s, and proposes new, sometimes bold policies. This is an important and controversial book that must be read by experts on pensions, social security, and Latin America."Carmelo Mesa-Lago, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Economics and Latin American Studies, University of PittsburghGill, Indermit S. is the author of 'Keeping the Promise of Social Security in Latin America' with ISBN 9780804751810 and ISBN 0804751811.
