Definition

  • AN ADEQUATE PENSION SYSTEM for the elderly is the key to providing income security and reducing poverty. In fact, for countries with well-developed pension systems, pensions have been instrumental in reducing the poverty rates of the elderly to lower levels than for any other age group in the population.
