pension reform
Changing retirement benefits
Pension reform refers to changes in how retirement benefits are structured, funded, or distributed.
Governments undertake pension reform to address funding shortfalls, demographic shifts, or economic pressures: The president's pension reform sparked nationwide protests.
Common measures include raising retirement ages, adjusting benefit calculations, or shifting from defined-benefit to defined-contribution plans.
