The Politics of Parliamentary Pensions in Western Democracies: Understanding MPs' Self-Imposed Cutbacks

by Anna Caroline Warfelmann

The author analyses the politics of parliamentary pensions in four OECD countries, Australia, Austria, Canada, and Germany. Members of Parliament do not only decide upon public pensions, they also enact changes of their own pension scheme. Thus, it is surprising that they have implemented cuts for themselves.
