Mercer's 2009 global defined contribution survey - results

The move from traditional defined benefit to defined contribution retirement plans is well underway in many countries. With this shift come various challenges for employers of all sizes. By understanding the practices other plan sponsors are following and the trends in your and other countries, you will be prepared to offer your employees a competitive DC plan that will help them prepare for retirement. We received over 1,500 responses (including over 300 responses from multinational companies) from companies in 33 countries across Continental Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, the US, Canada and the UK. The survey highlights the increased global prevalence of defined contribution plans and focuses on current issues and future trends.
