| Annotation | Mandating plays a role in the retirement income systems of nearly every country in the world. This article considers mandatory pensions as employer-provided occupational pensions, which appear to substitute for a portion, or all, of the earnings-related part of social security. Both Australia and Switzerland mandate private pension coverage, and the Netherlands has a partial mandating programme. While mandating with full compliance would raise 100% of the coverage of the population to which the mandate applies, in reality compliance is never complete: low-earning, part-time and part-year workers and the self-employed are typically excluded. This article examines the positions in Australia, the Netherlands and Switzerland, where there is evidence that poverty rates have declined since mandating was introduced. (RH). |
