RP01/11-12 Retirement Protection System in Selected Places

In Hong Kong, the adequacy of the social security system and the Mandatory Provident Fund system to protect the retirement life of the elders has aroused much public concerns in recent years. In addition, Hong Kong stands in contrast with many developed economies for its lack of a public pension scheme as a safety net of last resort for the needy elders. This research report studies the retirement protection system implemented in Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Taiwan and Hong Kong, and compares how they fare in terms of the five-pillar model put forward by the World Bank in 2005. 		2012.05.07
