Abstract:
Pension reform in Western societies has sought to shift the balance of provision towards the private sector. In Britain, the 1986 Social Security Act marked a watershed in privatisation by promoting personal pensions while cutting the value of the State Earnings Related Pension Scheme. The article assesses the effects of the Act, especially the different implications according to gender and position in the labour market. Data from the 1993/4 and 1994/5 General Household Surveys is used to examine the changing pension arrangements of employees. We distinguish between personal pension membership

Abstract:
Looks at the role of property in pensions funds pre and post minimum funding requirement (MFR). Suggests that while property has a role as a matching asset in pension funds, this role has declined in recent years. This is partly because of poor performance but also because other asset categories can perform the role that property has played. The introduction of the MFR may make property still less attractive to pension funds because of the equity/gilt valuation benchmark. However, we expect any effect in the short term to be limited.

As a consequence of the introduction of the Family Law (Scotland) Act 1985, there is an explicit provision that pension benefits should be included as part of the matrimonial property in a divorce settlement. It will be clear from this paper that we have considerable doubts as to whether the present law is satisfactory; nevertheless it is difficult

Abstract:
Under the Civil War pension act of 1862, Union Army widows were entitled to pensions; however, they lost these pensions if they remarried. Using a database compiled from widows' pension files, I estimate the effect this had on widows' remarriage decisions. I find that receiving a pension lowered the hazard rate of remarriage by 25 percent, which implies an increase in the median time to remarriage of 3.5 years. Among older women, the effect is greater. These results suggest that many Union Army widows faced highly unfavorable marriage prospects.

AbstractIn response to population aging, pay-as-you-go pensions are being reduced in almost all developed countries. In many countries, governments aim to fill the resulting gap with subsidized private pensions. This paper exploits the recent German pension reform to shed new light on the uptake of voluntary, but heavily subsidized private pension schemes. Specifically, we investigate how the uptake of the recently introduced ‘Riester pensions’ depends on state-provided saving incentives, and how well the targeting at families and low-income households works in practice.We show that, after a s

This paper is an attempt to up-date Gilley's work and to describe a complex and practical field of actuarial operation.

Pension schemes represent, by far, the largest social welfare commitment of first world nations. Old age pensions are also demographically sensitive.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses how employers gained control over pension fund investment decisions and why, once private pension plans were established, they directed their assets into the stock market. The financialization of retirement funds between 1950 and 1980 was driven by a series of political interventions into the management of pensions by policymakers who were primarily concerned with promoting capitalist growth. Starting in the postwar period, lawmakers on the right argued that the best way to end labor-management conflicts was to drastically roll back the gains made by unions in the Wagner Act. With overwhelming support from business associations, Northern Republicans and Southern Democrats passed the Taft–Hartley Act in 1947. Taft–Hartley conferred much greater capacity to capitalists to follow the best practices on Wall Street when it came to investing their union pension funds.

Full text
Abstract:
A category of asset that requires separate consideration is the debtor’s pension. A need for transaction avoidance may arise here if the bankrupt has made excessive contributions to his pension in a bid to deprive creditors of these sums. Although formerly a problem, due to the inadequacy of existing avoidance provisions, case law developments meant that such tactics by the bankrupt were to no avail. This area of law is now primarily governed by the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999, the material parts of which came into force on various dates, the earliest being 29 May 2000. Provisions of this Act dictate that the debtor’s entitlements under approved pension arrangements do not form part of the debtor’s estate in bankruptcy. Rights under pension schemes that are not approved are also exempted by regulation. In each of these cases the trustee is, however, able to apply for an order to set aside any excessive pension funding. Relevant case law principles will still govern the affairs of those who were adjudged bankrupt prior to 29 May 2000, and so they are considered in this chapter also. A diagram explaining the various applicable rules appears at the end of the chapter.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Part 5 of the Equality Act 2010, which prohibits discrimination, harassment, and victimization in employment and analogous situations. It contains provisions regarding those who are not strictly employees but who are also protected from discrimination in the course of performing their duties such as police officers, partners, barristers and advocates, and other office holders. Part 5 also contains the Occupational Pension Schemes provisions. Meanwhile, Chapter 3 of Part 5 contains the provisions relating to equal pay, pregnancy and maternity pay, restrictions on pay discussions, and gender pay gap information. The Act consolidates and replaces the previous anti-discrimination legislation which is largely replicated in the Act, with some notable amendments. These amendments are intended to unify the level of protection across all of the protected characteristics and to resolve any anomalies, for example around disability-related discrimination.

In this sense, performance metrics, management fees and benchmark portfolios that focus on assets (and asset returns) and ignore the variations in the conversion rate, embed several problems: i. they send wrong signals to regulators, fund managers and workers
