Overview

It also offers a focused and detailed analysis on issues such as: the concerns of sustainability, structure of payout phrase and coverage for informal workers. It also covers issues in pension and health care arrangements in depopulating high income countries of Japan and Korea to countries with large populations but low coverage of formal social protection such as China, India and Indonesia.
