ABSTRACT
Chapter 6 first reviews the key findings presented in the previous three chapters to provide a synthesised response to the two research questions on pension sustainability in China, which focus on the effects of population ageing and fragmented administration, respectively. The chapter also discusses the results in relation to the existing literature. The contributions and limitations of the study presented in this book are then outlined with some suggestions on future research directions. The chapter concludes the book by offering a brief reflection on the role of pension reform in the broader context of China’s ongoing transformation into a modern market-based economy and drawing some policy implications based on the main findings of this study.
