Please find the below information on a new book "Ageing and Pension Reform
Around the World" which contains three chapters on the experiences of Japan
(Toshimitsu Shinkawa), Korea (Yeon Myung Kim and Kyo-seong Kim) and Taiwan
(Chen-Wei Lin).
Personally, I found it very useful and interesting except the price..
