Editorial Reviews

In this book, Gregg McClymont and Andy Tarrant have assembled an interesting collection of chapters that reflect on recent experiences of pension reforms in the United Kingdom and six other countries: Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden….To conclude, this short book…provides a great starting point for understanding the challenges that countries face when reforming their systems towards sustainable (pre-funded) pensions. I found the book enjoyable and interesting to read and would strongly recommend it to JPEF readers.
