Social Security Programs and Retirement around the World
Author: Jonathan Gruber
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226309983
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 752
Book Description
Social Security Programs and Retirement around the World represents the second stage of an ongoing research project studying the relationship between social security and labor. In the first volume, Jonathan Gruber and David A. Wise revealed enormous disincentives to continued work at older ages in developed countries. Provisions of many social security programs typically encourage retirement by reducing pay for work, inducing older employees to leave the labor force early and magnifying the financial burden caused by an aging population. At a certain age there is simply no financial benefit to continuing to work. In this volume, the authors turn to a country-by-country analysis of retirement behavior based on micro-data. The result of research compiled by teams in twelve countries, the volume shows an almost uniform correlation between levels of social security incentives and retirement behavior in each country. The estimates also show that the effect is strikingly uniform in countries with very different cultural histories, labor market institutions, and other social characteristics.

An Evaluation of the Old Age Pension System in Canada

Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
"Our provisions for dependent groups in our communities are so conditioned by the moralistic philosophy of the past, and by our attitudes towards them as individuals, that it becomes necessary from time to time to evaluate our thinking in this connection. It is somewhat disconcerting to discover that many of our present provisions for dependents in our society continue to be based on the theories that were widely held as far back as the seventeenth century. We are all too familiar with the reaction that meets any new social welfare measure which aims at putting certain economic props under various dependent groups. It is constantly re-iterated that the government is encouraging laziness, sloth, and irresponsibility. An historical survey suggests that this philosophy seems to have its roots in Puritan beliefs and later, in the bourgeois conception that prosperity was synonymous with virtue and similarly, that poverty was synonymous with vice. It is implicit in this philosophy that, if a person were a thrifty, hard working person, he would never become a public charge - even in old age. Because our present day attitudes are tinged with century-old, moralistic thinking, many of our welfare provisions have been punitive and harsh in their administration.[...]" --
