Bibliografía p. 108-109.
This paper analyses the factors affecting the decision to apply a reform (parametric and structural) in the Americas, which may hold a specific set of conditions, i.e. a sui generis political system and a high degree of economic openness, among others. Economic freedom is relevant in the case of structural reforms, while results for the share of older population are not conclusive. It may be that governments seek efficiency, while older members of society still do not have the channels to effectively influence policies and also those benefited by the social security are the few.
