The authors consider governments' current fiscal balances in order to contextualize countries' initial financial liabilities and pension program infrastructure. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book concludes with an integrated reform proposal for Social Security. These prescriptions suggest concrete plans to address issues such as underfunding, benefits for high-income participants and the elderly demographic segment, as well as the creation of an individual account program. This volume forges significant advances and boldly confronts the challenge of reconstructing the US Social Security program.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Neil Baily,Jacob Funk Kirkegaard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0881324256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881324259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peterson Institute for International Economic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 111","brand":"Martin Neil Baily","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48087036788991,"sku":"9780881324259","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b8f3b8d-2f53-4469-905a-b1c716ad3ffc.jpg?v=1769097938","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/us-pension-reform-martin-neil-baily-9780881324259","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
