UPCOMING WEBINAR FROM THE GLOBAL OBSERVATORY OF LONG-TERM CARE (GOLTC): Pensions in Southern Africa 💰 How and why do pensions vary across the region? Countries in the Southern African region have invested significantly in pension programmes in different ways. Whilst fiscal conditions constrain or facilitate redistributive welfare programmes, other political and social factors play a critical role in shaping the presence and value of pensions. The webinar provides an overview of changes in pension reform by drawing on case studies from the region. Given the critical role that pensions play in providing security for older persons and their households, the speakers will offer reflections on the future of state pensions in changing financial, demographic and political contexts.
