Abstract

This annex presents a general description of the existing pension schemes for public employees and an overall view of arrangements covering private sector workers; examines the problems with existing social security arrangements; reviews the issues involved in the design of pension schemes; and discusses the needed short-term reforms to the existing pension schemes to prevent a fiscal crisis in the years ahead and to move toward the ultimate objective of haying a broad coverage social security arrangement in the West Bank and Gaza.
