Working Paper 30: Pensions in Africa
This paper discusses why the development of pension systems is important for the African region. It also looks at the current pension arrangements in selected African countries.
The paper was designed as an overview/background document to provide context and assist discussion at the OECD/IOPS Global Forum on Private Pensions, which was held in Mombasa, Kenya on the 30th/ 31st October, 2008. The OECD and IOPS acknowledge the leadership of other organisations in terms of development and African specific issues – notably the World Bank, International Labor Organisation (ILO) and IMF.
