Canada is hardly unique in this respect. Countries around the world are
engaged in similar debates, and their experience holds important
lessons. Through the perspectives of international and Canadian
researchers, Reform of Retirement Income Policy focuses on many key
reform issues: future income prospects for the elderly, roles of the
public and private sectors, fairness and intergenerational equity,
affordability and economic impacts, public expectations, and political
constraints. Contributors include Bob Baldwin (Canadian Labour
