Описание: Well-designed, well-functioning, and sustainable pension systems will promote inclusive growth by supporting old-age income and provide a muchneeded social safety net. In many Asian countries, pension systems are still inadequate in terms of coverage and delivery of stipulated benefits. This is particularly so for the smaller economies of Cambodia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Myanmar, Thailand, and Viet Nam. A number of structural issues such as governance, regulation, and administrative capacities hinder their development. These issues are discussed in this summary of the 34 September 2015 Conference proceedings on Strengthening Public Pension Systems in Asia.

Описание: This is a topical area for the courts, which have moved to imply various limitations or tests on decision makers powers and when they can be challenged. This is made more difficult for lay users and lawyers alike in that implied restrictions are (by definition) not apparent from the words of the relevant contract itself. These limits are applied by the courts not just to fiduciaries (such as trustees or directors), but also to non-fiduciaries (eg banks and employers).Recent case law includes:· Pitt v Holt (SC) – trustee decisions (2013)· Braganza (SC) – contractual discretions (2015)· Eclairs (SC) – directors powers: proper purposes (2015)· IBM UK Holdings v Dalgleish (CA) – employer powers under pension plans (2017)· British Airways (CA)– pension plan – proper purposes (2018)The book reviews the relevant doctrines of:· Interpretation rules· Proper purposes;· Due consideration of relevant factors· Full perversity (no reasonable decision maker)

Описание: Workplace pensions are a vital part of Canada`s retirement income system, but these plans have reached a state of crisis as a result of their low coverage and inadequate, insecure, and unequally distributed benefits. Reviewing pension plans through a legal and historical lens, Empty Promises reveals the paradoxical effects and inevitable failure of a pension system built on the interests of employers rather than employees. Elizabeth Shilton examines the evolution of pension law in Canada from the 1870s to the early twenty-first century, highlighting the foreseeably futile struggle of legislators to create and sustain employees` pension rights without undermining employers` incentives. The current system gives employers considerable discretion and control in pension design and administration. Shilton appeals for a model that is not hostage to business interests. She recommends replacing today`s employer-controlled systems with pensions shaped by the public interest, expanding mandatory broad-based or state-pension systems such as the Canada Pension Plan to generate pensions that respond to the changing workplace and address the needs and interests of retirees. Engaging with the long-running debate on whether Canadians should look to government or to the private sector for retirement income security, Empty Promises is a crucial work concerned with the future of the Canadian retirement system.
