Women’s Welfare and Social Security Privatization in Mexico

Michelle Dion

Several Latin American countries have fully or partially privatized their public pensions since the 1980s. In 1995 Mexico privatized its public pension system, including a shift from a defined benefit to defined contribution system based on privately administered individual accounts. This article uses feminist criteria to evaluate the gender impact of welfare regimes and concludes that the Mexican pension privatization will have a negative effect on women’s welfare in old age.
