From the supplier: Systems of financial support for old people are in trouble all over the world. Urbanization, industrialization and increased mobility are severely straining both extended families and village support networks on which more than 60% of the world's senior citizens depend exclusively. Existing old-age programs in many countries are not serving to protect the old or to promote economic growth. Other nations that are starting new systems are in danger of making the same mistakes. To ensure that old-age programs continue to provide security to the elderly and to provide economic benefits, governments the world over need to consider comprehensive pension reforms. Tackling pension reform will not be easy, but change in the current systems is necessary to avoid the old-age crisis.
