To enable a better understanding of the critical issues of the hour, the author provides insights into pension reforms in many emerging-economy countries.

Drawing upon his years of experience in this field and also from exhaustive research of data and publications of international agencies and eminent scholars, the author proposes methods for designing a pension system that is both viable and robust.
