| Annotation | This special issue of the Journal of Aging & Social Policy addresses social security reform as a worldwide phenomenon, highlighting one of the most pressing concerns in old-age income security, a concern that will loom larger as time goes on. The articles cover Latin America, the UK, Sweden, Italy, the US, Japan, Asia and the Pacific, Africa and the Middle East. They illustrate the diverse policies, programmes, problems and solutions (implemented or proposed), political systems, stages of economic development, and geographical areas. Introductory notes put into context the increased worldwide reform of social security programmes to provide old-age, disability and death benefits that has arisen since the Second World War.
