The dramatic decline in the stock market has diminished pension savings and reportedly led to low levels in older Americans’ confidence in their ability to retire. Even before the current economic recession, research indicated that pension benefits are likely to be inadequate for many Americans.

(2) What approaches are used in other countries that could address these risks and what trade-offs do they present?
