That is below the replacement rate—at which new births are sufficient to maintain a steady population—and puts India in the company of many richer economies.

Brexit would be better for UK workers, Boris Johnson promised. But will it?

The European Commission’s plans to protect people in precarious jobs in the gig economy could be the most ambitious extension of workers’ rights from Brussels since Britain left the EU.

En consecuencia, los trabajadores se plantean invertir en instrumentos de ahorro privado para complementar la pensión pública y así garantizar la suficiencia de ingresos en el momento de la jubilación. El trabajo plantea herramientas alternativas...

Pensions at a Glance 2021 says however that the long-term financial pressure from ageing persists. Pension finances deteriorated during the pandemic due to lost contributions, and shortfalls have been mainly covered by state budgets....
