Public Sector Pensions: Planning the Future

As the UK government contemplates root and branch reform of public sector pensions, this edited collection brings together a range of expert contributions to explore the arguments behind the debate and the options facing ministers.

The collection examines employee views on public sector pensions, and whether their generosity reflects lower salaries. The authors also examine the complex ways in which the public and private sector treat the various risks inherent in delivering pension schemes, and how these can be reconfigured in the public sector while learning the lessons of the private sector’s experience.
