| Annotation | This book is written by recognised experts in the field of social security in the United States, and is aimed at those with little knowledge of pensions. There is a short overview section on the principles and history of social security in the US. The main part examines the most frequently raised issues, including: means testing; levels of benefits; how women are treated; disability; whether work is discouraged; the effect on the economy; and intergenerational aspects. Views on adequacy and equity, financing and work, and institutional and administrative issues are discussed. The book concludes with alternative perspectives on the future of social security: the need for change versus the case for continuing provision. |
