Is There a Role for Social Pensions in A sia?

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: Rapid population ageing and economic transformation in Asia underline the policy challenges associated with ensuring income security in old age. This article examines the potential role of social pensions in securing old‐age income security in Asia. It assesses the main policy trade‐offs associated with adopting alternative social pension designs, especially around two critical policy points: the comparative advantages of social assistance and social pensions; and the integration of non‐contributory transfers within advanced contributory pension schemes.
