| Annotation | While the Chilean pension reform has received considerable attention, its emulation in Nigeria has not. This article is the first in-depth analysis of the Nigerian pension reform introduced in 2004. It suggests that the Nigerian authorities failed to learn the lessons of the system introduced in Chile. They transposed a system that both failed to serve the country from which it was copied and that is inappropriate to the country to which it was copied. For countries such as Nigeria, alternative forms of provision for old age are needed. A social pension might be considered. (RH). |
