Abstract

The brief's key findings are: (1) Many Latin American countries adopted individual retirement accounts (IRAs) to supplement or replace traditional social security systems. (2) Recently, a number of these countries have enacted reforms to better balance individual saving and social risks. (3) The new reforms generally aim to improve - not abandon - IRAs and, at the same time, to provide more adequate protection against old-age poverty.
