Saving for Development: How Latin America and the Caribbean Can Save More and Better
Why should people—and economies—save? The typical answer usually focuses on the need to protect against future shocks, to smooth consumption during hard times, in short, to save for the proverbial rainy day. This book approaches the question from a slightly different angle. While saving to survive the bad times is important, saving to thrive in the good times is what really counts. This book explores how households, firms, and governments can address the savings problem in Latin America and the Caribbean in pursuit of a sunny day when people live healthy, productive lives, firms grow to employ more workers and produce quality goods, and governments provide adequate infrastructure, quality public services, and a dignified worry-free retirement to their citizens.
