The present edition of THE CHILEAN PENSION SYSTEM contains a general outline of social security in Chile, including a description of the social security system in force before the 1980 reform. It explains the origins and grounds of the reform, the transition that was used, and decribes - with due depth and clarity of explanation - the fundamental bases and characteristics of the individual capitalization system. In that section, the book deals with the State's role as guarantor and creator of rules and regulations, the coverage provided by the system, the types of contributions and benefits, the system of fund investment, the commissions structure, the information received by members and matters related with collection and delinquency in social security. The text then sets out the results of the system after more than 21 years in operation, both as regards its own, inherent indicators: coverage, benefits, investments, yield and cost, and its impact on related markets or fields, such as the capital market, the insurance industry, the
productive sectors, the labour market and the country's economic growth.
