The first part of the volume contains a comparison of key features of OECD pension systems, such as retirement ages, benefit accrual rates, ceilings and indexation. Future pension entitlements are shown for full-career workers at different earnings levels. Building on replacement rates and relative pension levels, a series of indicators is constructed. These indicators measure redistribution in pension systems, the cost of countries' pension promises, and the potential resource transfer that countries will make to pensioners considering benefit levels and country-specific life expectancy. The second part of the volume consists of an annex showing pension systems and replacement rates for each of the 30 countries in detail.--Back cover.
