AnnotationThe authors do not disagree with the broad thrust of Jay Ginn's analysis and conclusions regarding economic disadvantage among women retirees in her article, "European pension privatisation: taking account of gender" in this issue of Social Policy and Society. However, they take issue that she has failed to appreciate the crucial difference between voluntary and state-mandated private pension provision. The authors suggest that her analysis does not invalidate their proposition that the state-mandated provision of private pensions in Western Europe is consistent, to varying degrees, with the notion of collective responsibility for needs satisfaction.
