Economic Survival in Retirement: Which Pension is for You?

Contributors to this book discuss possible answers to the following questions: 1) What are the advantages and disadvantages of defined benefit and defined contribution plans for employees? 2) Which approach offers employees the most secure retirement income promise? 3) Should the government encourage creation of defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans? Or should the government take a neutral position on these issues? Distributed by arrangement with the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
