Misunderstanding pension privatization - the case against do-it-yourself pension kits
Article Abstract:
The clamor for the privatization of pensions in Europe and Latin America is mined with difficulties and uncertainty. For one, political support is not forthcoming because of the generally cautious character of regimes. The privatization call represents a radical turnaround from a public policy of state pension provisions that have been in place for 50 years. So far, the only successful case for pension privatization is Chile. A unique set of circumstances surrounded Chile's privatization and thus, the country's experiences cannot be easily duplicated in others.
