How can pensions be designed to withstand challenges of the next century? Experts examine hybrid and cash-balance plans, pension funding and insurance, and administrative costs and pension obligation bonds. Patterns in participant-directed investments are explored by income, age, and sex, along with their implications for retirement income adequacy.
