Zusammenfassung:
The reform of social security pensions and healthcare is a key issue for the modern world, and in many ways Latin America has acted as a social laboratory for the reform of these systems. From the reforms that took place in Chile in 1981, most pension and health care systems in the region have seen reform, and been fully or partially privatised. Many other countries considering reform of their own systems have been influenced by the policies implemented in Latin America. This book identifies reform models, and elaborates taxonomies to facilitate their understanding and comparison.
