Social Security Programs in Europe, Asia, and the Pacific

Social Security Programs in Europe, Asia, and the Pacific Synopsis

The information contained in this book is crucial to our efforts, and those of researchers in other countries, to review different ways of approaching social security challenges that will enable us to adapt our social security systems to the evolving needs of individuals, households, and families. These efforts are particularly important as each nation faces major demographic changes, especially the increasing number of aged persons, as well as economic and fiscal issues. This book serves as an overview of programs in all regions.
