International Social Security Review, 2000, vol. 53, issue 1, 65-82

Abstract: At a meeting of the ISSA Bureau in Stockholm in 1996, theInternational Social Security Association under the author’s presidency launched what became known as the Stockholm Initiative, under the title “The social security reform debate: In search of a new consensus”. The objective was to bring together the often contrasting views of national and international experts involved in the social security reform debate, in a first phase with particular regard to public pensions. A broad consensus emerged among specialists about the need to balance social goals and macroeconomic requirements when designing and implementing reforms. This article reviews the background to the Initiative, outlines its achievements and surveys the issues which need to be faced.
