ABSTRACT
President Clinton has proposed creating larger social security funds and
investing a portion of them in the private sector. Others have suggested more
radical reforms such as moving social security from a defined-benefit scheme to
a defined-contribution plan based on the Chilean model. This paper concludes
that greater pre-funding of social security will not, of and by itself, create a
more secure system.
