Abstract

Abstract: This paper describes the attempts to introduce some solidary features into the private pension system and the reform strategy followed thereof by left-wing governments in Chile since 2008. The negative impact on retirees of a private pension system driven by financial markets and profit-oriented actors has led to a continuing questioning of this system by experts and the population. The strong veto powers that major industry actors hold in the policy process determined that those governments adopted an institutional reform strategy based on layering. This paper surmises that this strategy may a have an impact on the pension system in the long-term by steering it gradually towards a public pension system.
