What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘This is an admirable example of a multi-authored comparative book. The two editors set the scene very carefully in the opening chapter and the subsequent chapters follow the framework set out and use the concepts explored there. In this never simple policy area, national systems are explained as clearly as possible by each author.’ – Michael Hill, Journal of Social Policy‘This is an enlightening introduction to the global dimensions and complexity of pension reform. Recommended.’ – J.F. O’Connell, Choice
