Pensions in an international perspective: privatizing and contested control

Article Abstract:

Governments are increasingly pressured to privatize pensions to effectively deal with a sluggish economy and an aging population. Capital owners and government officials also want a supply of funds for nascent stock and bond markets to be used in privatization programs. However, privatization of pension programs creates new challenges to labor unions and new international standards on workers' rights and pension investment must be established if pension programs are to be privatized.
