Pension systems

Launch of the OECD Pensions Outlook 2018

 

3 December 2018  Paris, France

The 2018 edition of the OECD Pensions Outlook discusses policy options to help governments ensure that people will get the most out of the pension system. It covers approaches to optimise the design of pension arrangements in order to improve retirement outcomes for members through increasing savings (using financial incentives and accounting for behavioural biases), efficiency (aligning charges with the costs of providing pensions, improving governance, investment and risk management), and the efficacy given different personal situations. 

This publication was launched in Paris on 3 December 2018 in the presence of Angel Gurría, OECD Secretary-General, Nicolás Monckeberg, Labour and Social Security Minister of Chile, Preston Rutledge, Assistant Secretary of Labor to the US Department of Labor, Ambrogio Rinaldi, Chair of the OECD Working Party on Private Pensions, and Greg Medcraft, OECD Director of Financial and Enterprise Affairs.
