Policymakers worldwide are struggling to adapt their pension systems to the reality of aging populations, globalization, and tightening budgets. The World Bank actively supports these policymakers by helping them to identify the economic and demographic challenges facing them to highlighting potential policy responses and providing implementation support. New Ideas about Old Age Security is a selection of papers presented at a conference in September 1999 convened by the World Bank and attended by leading academics and policymakers from around the world. These papers, which have subsequently been revised, contain a sample of the most recent thinking in the global debate over pension reform. The papers in this volume explore a wide variety of pension reform issues. Some of the topics covered in this book include new approaches to multi-pillar pension reform, the relevance of index funds for pension investment in equities, and managing public pension reserves., Policymakers worldwide are struggling to adapt their pension systems to the reality of aging populations, globalization, and tightening budgets.

This Social Protection Strategy paper reflects this understanding and uses social risk management as an important conceptual framework for the World Bank's work in this sector. Social Protection Sector Strategy is the first World Bank Strategy Paper for the social protection sector, one of the World Bank's youngest sectors. This paper highlights the need to expand the definition of social protection to encompass all public interventions that help individuals, households, and communities to manage risk or provide support to the critically poor. It recommends that social protection programs be embedded in an integrated approach to poverty reduction based on a new framework for social risk management., Policymakers worldwide are struggling to adapt their pension systems to the reality of aging populations, globalization, and tightening budgets.
