The authors' expertise in the area has provided readers of this book with a comprehensive analysis of pension systems in these countries, the predominant issues, the fiscal burden due to increasing costs, and how to generate fiscal space to maintain the viability of the pension systems. [...] It provides a comprehensive analysis and a great insight into a key area of welfare provision, which is significantly important for many countries around the world. Discussions of the experiences and issues in developing countries and the analysis of the sustainability of these schemes provided in the book provide vital information and lessons for many emerging economies. [...] In conclusion, this book can be highly recommended for policymakers and researchers. It is a vital addition to the social security and pension literature.' - Asian Pacific Economic Literature, Volume 31 Issue 2
