Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An "owner's manual" for every Canadian with a pension plan. Millions of Canadians are covered by pension plans in one form or another-whether that's CPP or a company plan, or personal RRSPs. But pensions are the benefit least understood by employees. They're confusing and complex, but understanding pensions is crucial to every Canadian's financial security in retirement. Since its initial publication, The Pension Puzzle has become the definitive book on the subject. Now completely revised and updated, The Pension Puzzle remains a true owner's manual for anyone with a pension plan. The Pension Puzzle is not just for those about to retire. It's for every working Canadian who needs to make decisions about their pension plan and how it affects their financial future.

Book excerpt: "Pension design is controversial. Controversy swirls in particular round two sets of issues: should the first-tier, mandatory, state pay-as-you-go pension be minimal or substantial; and how should the second tier be organized - in particular should it be mandatory, private, funded, and defined-contribution? The key variable is effective government. From an economic perspective, the difference between pay-as-you-go and funding is secondary. The range of potential choice over pension design is wide."--Conclusion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rancorous debate over the future of Social Security reached a fever pitch in 2005 when President Bush unsuccessfully proposed a plan for private retirement accounts. Although efforts to reform Social Security seem to have reached an impasse, the long-term problem—the projected Social Security deficit—remains. In Pension Puzzles, sociologists Melissa Hardy and Lawrence Hazelrigg explain for a general audience the fiscal challenges facing Social Security and explore the larger political context of the Social Security debate. Pension Puzzles cuts through the sloganeering of politicians in both parties, presenting Social Security's technical problems evenhandedly and showing how the Social Security debate is one piece of a larger political struggle. Hardy and Hazelrigg strip away the ideological baggage to explicate the basic terms and concepts needed to understand the predicament of Social Security. They compare the cases for privatizing Social Security and for preserving the program in its current form with adjustments to taxes and benefits, and they examine the different economic projections assumed by proponents of each approach. In pursuit of its privatization agenda, Hardy and Hazelrigg argue, the Bush administration has misled the public on an issue that was already widely misunderstood. The authors show how privatization proponents have relied on dubious assumptions about future rates of return to stock market investments and about the average citizen's ability to make informed investment decisions. In addition, the administration has painted the real but manageable shortfalls in Social Security revenue as a fiscal crisis. Projections of Social Security revenues and benefits by the Social Security Administration have treated revenues as fixed, when in fact they are determined by choices made by Congress. Ultimately, as Hardy and Hazelrigg point out, the clash over Social Security is about more than technical fiscal issues: it is part of the larger culture wars and the ideological struggle over what kind of social responsibilities and rights American citizens should have. This rancorous partisan wrangling, the alarmist talk about a "crisis" in Social Security, and the outright deception employed in this debate have all undermined the trust between citizens and government that is needed to restore the solvency of Social Security for future generations of retirees. Drawing together economic analyses, public opinion data, and historical narratives, Pension Puzzles is a lucid and engaging guide to the major proposals for Social Security reform. It is also an insightful exploration of what that debate reveals about American political culture in the twenty-first century.

Book Synopsis The Retirement Puzzle by : Stephen Geist
Download or read book The Retirement Puzzle written by Stephen Geist and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many experts have labeled the current state of retirement in America as the "Retirement Cliff." And they say it was brought about by several factors, including the massive numbers of baby boomers retiring in the next fifteen years, the shift from traditional pensions over to 401(k) type plans that began in the 1980s, minuscule retirement savings, increasing debt and a lack of adequate financial knowledge. Perhaps the most surprising thing about the entire notion of retirement in America today is how little anybody seems to know about financial well-being in retirement. Didn't they teach this stuff in school? Apparently not. Plain and simple, for many Americans today, financial planning for retirement requires improvement. Your financial well-being in retirement involves much more than the size of your 401(k) or your brokerage account or your Social Security or your pension (if you're lucky enough to have one). Many Americans picture in their minds what will be sufficient to retire. Unfortunately, that picture falls far short of what they will actually need. The retirement cliff is an unsettling reality facing millions and it demands that people prepare for retirement in a complete different way. This is especially true for those in the retirement "Red Zone," which is a ten-year period of time beginning five years before you retire and ending five years into retirement. This ten-year red zone is so important because the decisions you make during this period regarding your retirement might be the most critical decisions you'll ever make. One of the problems people face in the Red Zone is the issue of planning for increasing life expectancies, meaning the nest eggs that retirees accumulate before retirement will have to last longer during retirement. The world is a much tougher, and unforgiving place than it was in the past. There are so many things to know today. So many rules and regulations to follow. So many pitfalls and traps to fall into. The government wants as much of your nest egg as it can possibly tax away from you! Inflation and the volatile stock market are waiting to gobble up large parts of your retirement nest egg. This book is about financial well-being in retirement. It presents itself as a retirement puzzle containing five primary pieces. Puzzle Piece #1: Diversify and Protect Assets in Retirement Puzzle Piece #2: Proper Income Planning for Retirement Puzzle Piece #3: Taxes in Retirement and Beyond Puzzle Piece #4: Health Care and Long-Term Care Planning Puzzle Piece #5: Proper Estate Planning Each piece of the puzzle interlocks with the other pieces. No one piece stands alone. To ignore even one piece, or to improperly address the shape and relevance of each piece, can jeopardize the integrity of the entire puzzle. This book explains how you can better manage your assets in retirement. In a concise way, this book prepares you for financial well-being and peace-of-mind during your golden years.

Download or read book Equitable and Sustainable Pensions written by Mr.Benedict J. Clements and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-03-08 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pension reform is high on the agenda of many advanced and emerging market economies, for many reasons. First, public pensions often constitute a large share of government expenditure. Second, population aging means that reforms would be needed just to keep pension spending from rising in the future. Third, in many economies, low or falling pension coverage will leave large segments of the population without adequate income in old age and at risk of falling into poverty. Although a number of studies have assessed the effects of pension reforms on fiscal sustainability, a systematic analysis of equity issues in pension systems—and how countries have grappled with these issues—has yet to be undertaken. This book brings together the latest research on equity issues related to pension systems and pension reforms in the post-crisis world. Some of the key issues covered include: the effect of pension systems on intergenerational equity and the impact of pension reforms on poverty, the effects of pension reform measures on fiscal sustainability and equity, and the fiscal consequences of achieving different equity goals. It also presents country case studies. The volume provides a rich menu of material to assist policymakers and academic audiences seeking to understand the latest research in this area, as well as the lessons and challenges for the design of reforms.

Download or read book Pensions written by Hill, Michael and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2007-05-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a much-needed introductory guide to the issues surrounding pension policy, not just in the UK but worldwide, and offers a critique of some of the dominant ideas and assumptions. Noting the intense debate that currently surrounds the subject, the book explores a wider view of the continuing issues about pension policy. It draws attention to an ideological 'fault-line' running through pensions policy, between a dominant view of pensions as deferred earnings on the one hand and a view of them as providers of an adequate income to enable elderly people to participate fully in society on the other. It argues for more attention to that second perspective, as an aspect of the search for a satisfactory work/ life balance. Critical of the many 'quick fix' approaches to the topic, the author attacks 'the demographic time bomb thesis' for its crude assumptions about the future burden of the old and exposes naïve assumptions about what can be achieved by pension funding. This book offers an excellent analysis for the general reader and provides an authoritative supplementary text for courses in social policy. Policy and Politics in the Twenty-First Century This exciting series offers a guide through some of today's most hotly contested policy issues by distinguished leaders in the field. Each book untangles current policy debates, looking behind the rhetoric and spin to discover what is at the core of contemporary political agendas. Authors present their own perspectives and make recommendations for what could - or should - be our priorities for future policy reform.
Book Synopsis Evaluating the Financial Performance of Pension Funds by : Richard Hinz
Download or read book Evaluating the Financial Performance of Pension Funds written by Richard Hinz and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2010-01-14 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countries around the world are increasingly relying on individual pension savings accounts to provide income in old age for their citizens. Although these funds have now been in place for several decades, their performance is usually measured using methods that are not meaningful in relation to this long-term objective. The recent global financial crisis has highlighted the need to develop better performance evaluation methods that are consistent with the retirement income objective of pension funds. Compiling research derived from a partnership among the World Bank, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and three private partners, 'Evaluating the Financial Performance of Pension Funds' discusses the theoretical basis and key implementation issues related to the design of performance benchmarks based on life-cycle savings and investment principles. The book begins with an evaluation of the financial performance of funded pension systems using the standard mean variance framework. It then provides a discussion of the limitations inherent to applying these methods to pension funds and outlines the many other issues that should be addressed in developing more useful and meaningful performance measures through the formulation of pension-specific benchmark portfolios. Practical implementation issues are addressed through empirical examples of how such benchmarks could be developed. The book concludes with commentary and observations from several noted pension experts about the need for a new approach to performance measurement and the impact of the recent global financial crisis on pension funds.
