What's happening in Croatia

Article Abstract:

Croatia, in a move aimed at overhauling an ailing State social security system, has implemented its own version of radical pension reforms. The reforms, which are based on the three-pillar model espoused by the World Bank, became effective in Jan 1999. The strategy involves the creation of an unfunded pension arrangement with the State, the first pillar, and the establishment of both a compulsory and voluntary private-sector contribution arrangement, the second and third pillars.
