Many European countries have responded to  the ensuing financial pressure by reforming their public pension  systems and health care programmes. There is considerable uncertainty  as to the effects of these reforms - as they typically do not alter  the unfunded nature of public welfare arrangements and this  uncertainty is itself costly. Not only does it undermine the  credibility of public welfare programmes, but it may also distort  labour supply behaviour, decisions regarding savings and capital  accumulation. More generally there is uncertainty about the overall  impact of ageing on welfare and society and the multiple domains in  which its effects may develop. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003ePensions: More Information, Less Ideology\u003c\/em\u003e builds on the existing  evidence - mostly in the field of public pensions - and  highlights the advantages that would be obtained by: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003e harmonising methodologies used in the various countries to  report pension outlays and forecast future pension liabilities or more  generally public spending; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e defining common standards as to the  frequency of expenditure forecasts and the length of the forecast  horizons for welfare expenditures; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e developing European  longitudinal survey of persons pre- and post retirement age, providing  timely information on a wide array of decisions by individuals and  household related to the ageing process and the ongoing trends.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792375319\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-3363-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 196\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265603850380,"sku":"9780792375319","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792375319.jpg?v=1770785475","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792375319","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
