Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
First Published in 1960, Economic and Financial Aspects of Social Security presents an important intervention by Professor J. Henry Richardson, an experienced authority on social security. Specially valuable is the chapter which considers what proportion of national income can be afforded for social security and also that on the alternatives of financing by accumulating large funds or by ‘pay-as-you-go’ methods. The author directs particular attention to age and retirement and urges that both social security systems and industrial organization should be so devised as to give encouragement and facilities for older people to continue working as long as they are fit. He also discusses remedies for poverty arising from sickness and large families with low incomes. The value of social security as a factor in economic security and in the redistribution of income, safeguards against inflation, and the problem of saving today for consumption in the future are also examined. This book is an essential read for scholars and researchers of political economy, labour economics and economics in general

Book Description
For most of its working life--which began in 1935--the social security system has been the most popular and creditable social program in the United States. Its benefits have grown over the years--and not only in nominal terms, but in real ones as well. Public trust in its soundness has been as close to universal as its coverage, which now stands at nearly 94 percent of the working population. By the early 1970s, however, serious cracks in the financial underpinnings of the system began to be widely noted. The crisis of public confidence that developed--with some clamoring to get out of the system altogether--realistically reflected financial difficulties that are apt to persist through the first half of the twenty-first century, based on current projections of declining birth rates (causing a higher retiree/worker ratio) and productivity growth rates."Social Security Financing" faces up to these and related problems and proposes a range of workable solutions, including alternative methods for financing the system that would overhaul its entire fiscal structure. The book--which is based on an intensive study sponsored by the Social Security Administration and conducted by Mathematica Policy Research and the National Institute for Advanced Studies in 1980--deals with both the economics and the politics of the issues involved.Contents: "Alternate Methods of Social Security Financing: Overview of the Symposium, " Felicity Skidmore; "Issues in Social Security Financing: History and Policy Framework, " Marilyn Manser; "The Economic Effects of Social Security's OASI Program, " George F.
