N2 - National pension systems face a range of inter-related challenges and uncertainties: demographic, economic, environmental and social. There is no single best approach to addressing these issues, and although the basic aim of any pension system is to deliver economic security and social protection, the relationship between pension systems and the economy means there is a range of choices and demands that will face national governments as they seek to achieve this. Those choices concern both the manner in which such benefits are delivered, and who bears the cost of those benefits. The success of a pension system is generally based upon its adequacy, sustainability, fairness, efficiency and coverage.
