Global shift toward private retirement plans gains momentum
A sweeping reform movement argues private savings accounts offer greater prosperity than Social Security. Chile pioneered private accounts in 1981, with over 90 percent adopting the model within two years, then spreading to eight more Latin American nations and worldwide. Proponents claim private accounts could avert long term deficits, raise living standards, and enable substantial wealth transfer to heirs, while reducing national debt. Peter Ferrara of Americans for Tax Reform and the Cato Institute advocates privatization, citing a 4 percent real return that could yield near one million dollars for a couple beginning work in 1985, vastly outperforming Social Security promises.
