Providing an in-depth analysis of the economic well-being of the elderly in the UK, Austria, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia, this book offers an assessment of the performance of national social security systems in terms of income provision for the elderly. Each country analysis strictly adheres to a common methodological framework. This enables meaningful cross-country comparisons, revealing important common developments in the economic well-being of the elderly in all five countries. The authors also examine country-specific features, and every country chapter is written by an expert in the field who has a thorough knowledge of both the national pension systems and the data sets on which the empirical analyses are based.
