In the U.S. private employer-based defined benefit pension system, guarantees are implicitly built into the system in that corporations are expected to fund sufficiently to \u201cguarantee\u201d lifetime payment of employees\u2019 benefit payments. In the event that a corporation is unable to meet its funding obligations, there is a government-backed guarantee program, with benefit limits up to a certain amount of income, through the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) for eligible corporations. At the other end of the pension benefit spectrum, the U.S. private employer-based defined contribution plan system has no guarantees. For U.S. public employer-based defined benefit plans, there is no explicit guarantee beyond the employer\u2019s funding capacity. Other countries\u2019 employment-based pension systems may or may not have guarantees in place and the nature of the guarantees is wide-ranging. For this call for papers, the fundamental questions to be explored are: Should there be guarantees in employer-based pension systems? What are the social and\/or economic benefits and costs for guarantees of such systems?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
