Comparative pension reform pathways in Latin America and Southern Europe: A tale of successes, failures, and future challenges
Latin American and South European countries share a common policy legacy of public Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) pension systems, yet reform paths taken over the past decades between and within the two regions have varied. Latin American countries opted for the full or partial privatization of their public pension systems, yet subsequent reforms have challenged the public–private mix. Meanwhile, countries in Southern Europe opted for a less radical path, …
Where Next With Pension Policy Change in Latin America? Comparative Insights From Chile and Uruguay
Since the mid‐2000s, Latin American countries have been re‐reforming their pension systems to address the issue of low coverage and low future pensions.

Previous studies have focused on single cases or a small number of them, given that pension reform is a complex phenomenon arising from the combination of different causes. Using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), the article analyzes a set of 32 pension reform cases in eight countries from the ea…
The politics of pension policy responses to Covid-19: Comparative insights from Chile, Bolivia and Peru
The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a debate around the world on whether pension systems should be used to support individuals in economic distress. In Latin America, Chile, Bolivia and Peru have passed legislation allowing withdrawals from pension pots, yet with some significant variation. We argue that these measures cannot be simply understood because of the COVID-19 emergency alone but should also take into consideration the combination of lega…

Bringing Back the State: Understanding Varieties of Pension Re-reforms in Latin America
Pension policy is a highly political issue across Latin America. Since the mid-2000s, several countries have re-reformed their pension systems with a general trend toward more state involvement, yet with significant variation.

Analyzing the cases of Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile, this article shows that where a weak legacy, …
The Diversity and Causality of Pension Reform Pathways: A Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis
Pension reform is one of the top public policy priorities in advanced industrialized countries due to population ageing and the significant weight of pension spending in governments' budgets. As a result of these concerns European countries have engaged in varying degrees of pension reforms over the last three decades. The extant literature on pension reform focuses on structural, institutional and blame avoidance theories to explain how pension …
Radical Pension Reforms after the Crisis: A Comparative Analysis of A rgentina and G reece
Scholarly attention on pension reform following the recent global financial crisis has focused primarily on cases entailing the renationalization of private pension pillars. We argue that radical pension reforms should also include instances of radical retrenchment of public pension pillars. We offer an explanation of such reforms in the aftermath of the crisis by analyzing the reforms adopted in Argentina and Greece since 2008. We demonstrate th…
