Public sector retirement systems: what does the future hold?

Empl Benefits J. 2003 Jun;28(2):13-7.

Abstract

Public pension plans will continue to search for cost-sharing retiree health care solutions and may shift to a defined contribution emphasis. Fiduciary responsibility will be highlighted in view of controversial plan changes, government budgetary constraints, scrutinized investment return assumptions, potential labor shortages and increased shareholder activism.
