The Future of Public Employee Retirement Systems
Author: Gary AndersonPublisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191610259

Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
People covered by public pensions are often the subject of 'pension envy:' that is, their benefits might seem more generous and their contributions lower than those offered by the private sector. Yet this book points out that such judgments are often inaccurate, since civil servants hold jobs with few counterparts in private industry, such as firefighters, police, judges, and teachers. Often these are riskier, dirtier, and demand more loyalty and discretion than would be required of a more mobile labor force in the private sector. The debate challenges traditional ideas about how the public employee labor contract is structured and raises questions about how such employees are attracted to the public sector, retained and motivated on the job, and retired, via an entire compensation package of wages and benefits. Authors explore aspects of these schemes, addressing the cost and valuation debate, along with the political economy of how public pension asset pools are perceived and managed, an increasingly important topic in times of global financial turmoil. The discussion also explores ways that public pensions can be strengthened in the US, Japan, Canada, and Germany. The volume captures a vigorous debate currently underway by academics, financial experts, regulators, and plan sponsors, all seeking to define a new future for public retirement systems. It will be of substantial interest to a wide range of readers, since public sector employees and their representatives will naturally find the comparisons and arguments over valuation of keen interest. Public pension administrators and policymakers seeking an explanation of what makes these plans so costly will gain a new understanding of how the arguments stack up. Private sector employers and plan sponsors can learn much from efforts to reform these retirement systems in states and countries around the world. Finally, investors and the taxpaying public more generally may be at risk to cover these long-term promises, so it behoves them to pay close attention to the financing and investment practices of these plans, along with their valuation. This volume represents an invaluable addition to the Pension Research Council / Oxford University Press series as it includes actuarial, economic, and financial perspectives making it useful for academics, retirement plan administrators, and public employees wishing to understand the challenges facing public pensions.

State and Local Retirement Plans in the United States
Author: Robert L. ClarkPublisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 0857930591
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
State and Local Retirement Plans in the United States explains how economic and political events have shaped the development of pension plans in the last century, and it argues that changes in the structure and generosity of these plans will continue to shape policy and funding in the future. It also brings to bear a new rationale to the policies behind public sector pension plans. The authors use the history of how early public pension plans were established, how they matured and how they have grown in generosity to analyze what changes may be expected in years to come. Unique in its scope, this comprehensive history of the development of public sector pension plans in the United States during the twentieth century expands upon current ideas relating to the changing economic environment, the passage and evolution of social security, and the expansion of the public sector. With the exception of military pension plans, which date from the eighteenth century, the first public sector plans, dating from the late nineteenth century, were established to cover teachers, police officers and fire fighters in large cities. Over time, these retirement plans were extended to other public sector workers and the local plans were often merged with plans for state workers; all of these date from the twentieth century. Here, the authors show just how pension coverage for public sector workers expanded steadily, through the first half of the twentieth century, so that by the 1960s the vast majority of public sector workers were covered by a plan. This analysis demonstrates how economic events and shifts in public policy at the federal, state, and local levels helped to shape public sector retirement plans. The authors also compare public plans with private sector plans, and the final chapter focuses on recent changes in public pensions in response to the 'Great Recession', concurrent sharp declines in equity markets and the aging of the public workforce.

Book Description
Excerpt from Teachers' Pension Systems in the United States: A Critical and Descriptive Study In 1906, the state of Massachusetts appointed a commis sion, with Mr. Magnus W. Alexander as chairman, to study the general problem Of old age pensions, annuities and iusuf ance. Incidentally, the commission touched upon the prob lem of pensions in the public service and published in 1910 a report which stimulated a good deal of sound thought in the country. Beginning in 1910, Mr. Herbert D. Brown pre pared a series of reports, all of which have been published by the national government, dealing with the civil service retire ment system of Great Britain, New Zealand and New South Wales, Australia, and the problem of establishing a retire ment system by the national government for its employees. The New York Bureau of Municipal Research became inter ested in the pension problem soon after its establishment. It made a thorough actuarial investigation of the New York City Police Pension Fund - the first actuarial investigation of a civil service pension fund in this country - and prepared a report, which resulted in the establishment in New York City of a commission to investigate all the nine pension funds, including the teachers' fund, in Operation in New York City and led to similar actuarial investigations of funds in other cities. The sound pension thought which emanated from these three active centers, Washington, New York City and Boston, spread over the entire country and affected the teach ers' pension movement. The first to consider the establishment of a sound pension system for teachers was the state of Massachusetts. The state board of education was directed in 1911 to investigate the establishment of a state-wide retirement system for teach ers and to submit its recommendations before January, 1913. The investigation, aided by Mr. C. A. Prosser and Mr. W. I. Hamilton, resulted in the establishment in 1913 of the first scientifically constructed teachers' retirement system in this country.
