Comparative Social Security Studies
Comparative Social Security Studies analyze and compare how different countries design and manage their social security systems, including retirement, disability, and survivor benefits. These studies examine factors like benefit levels, income replacement rates, funding methods, and eligibility criteria to understand best practices and challenges. The goal is to identify approaches that promote sustainability, adequacy, and equity, helping policymakers improve their systems based on lessons learned from other nations. This comparative perspective offers valuable insights into balancing economic, demographic, and social considerations in social security policy.
