In May 2009 the Office of the Chief Actuary for the U.S. Social Security Administration projected that by 2016 the Social Security Trust Fund would begin to spend more money than it took in through tax revenue. Further, by 2037 the balance in the Trust Fund would be down to zero, necessitating cuts in benefits to retirees. The U.S. Social Security system thus faced a long-term financial problem that needed to be addressed sooner rather than later. The experience of other countries in reforming their own systems of old-age insurance might provide some guidance for U.S. policymakers as they attempt to deal with the long-run fiscal challenges facing the U.S. Social Security system. This case focuses on reforms of old-age insurance systems in three countries: Australia, Mexico, and Sweden.This case gives students the opportunity to debate the variety of approaches that could be used to reform the U.S. Social Security system. It also gives insight into how countries around the world have structured their old-age insurance systems.

The transformation becomes an important vocabulary since last seven years in Indonesia, precisely since the enactment of the National Social Security System (Social Security Act) on October 19, 2004.  Persero four state-owned social security program organizers PT Askes, PT Asabri, PT Jamsostek and PT Taspen  will be transformed into BPJS . Asabri program is part of the rights of soldiers and police members on a decent income. Asabri programs and programs pension payments transferred by Asabri PT and old age savings program and programs pension payments transferred from TASPEN PT is part of the program in accordance with that law. With the inclusion of informal workers in the social security system which has clearly not been recorded, it will take time and a very large cost.
