Acoordingly, it decides that it would be cheaper and better contribute liberally to a pension fund, requiring employees also to contrfbut and thus to provide for their retirement wpon reaching @ given age, upon an fn ome sufficient for actual support. ‘This experiment in governmental pension funds has been tested in most the important Buropean countries, Originally it was expected that such plane we certain or nearly certain to succeed; but the event has been quite otherwise, Such means of providing for esuperannuated employees w: not financial: unsuccessful when the rates were ample.

This again reduces the amount the penaion for a given rate of contribution, because in such case not those who die mn the service leave their contributions to swell the pensions. ‘Then what is to be done when an employee becomes temporarily disal and ig unable to earn salafy?
