Eight years ago the members of the British Columbia Schools Trustees' Association recommended to the teaching profession in British Columbia that they give serious consideration to the proposition of including merit as one of the factors in the determination of their salaries. The British Columbia Teachers' Federation, representing the teaching profession in the province, was vigorous in its opposition to merit pay schedules. The purpose of the present study is to assess the attitudes of the rank and file in the profession, as opposed to the institutional stand of the Teachers' Federation towards this issue. A study of the existing salary structures for teachers in the province showed that the teachers were paid primarily on the basis of their training and experience. An examination of the literature on merit rating pointed out that the training and experience of a teacher could not be equated with his teaching performance, as the research studies conducted indicated very low correlationships between them. The first part of the study, therefore, concluded that the teachers in British Columbia are not being paid on the basis of their teaching experience. The attitudes of the teachers towards this issue of pay based on teaching performance were then examined. Responses from 402 teachers from all levels of the teaching profession were fed into an IBM computer and the results analyzed. Slightly less than half of them (48.0%) opposed merit rating, and the rest were either in favor (39.0%) or were uncertain or did not answer (13.0%). The study, however, showed that the opposition to merit pay was greater if this meant that salaries were to be affected by double increments or super-maxima salaries superimposed on the existing salary structure. The opposition would be lesser if the merit of a teacher was being recognized by rewarding him/her with supervisory posts carrying extra allowances, granting study leave or sabbatical leave, and awarding travel grants for approved purposes. The recommendations in the concluding chapter were made on this basis. / Business, Sauder School of / Graduate

Anos depois, a previdência privada chilena tornou-se um modelo advogado pelo Banco Mundial e fonte de inspiração de várias outras reformas na América Latina e no mundo. O modelo de capitalização individual implementado que prometeu aposentadorias melhores e expansão da cobertura, logo mostrou-se demasiadamente custoso, e a exclusão de milhares de chilenos não permitiu a esperada diminuição do gasto estatal com o sistema previdenciário. As distorções do sistema previdenciário chileno tornaram-se mais explícitas ao serem admitidas por organismos internacionais que o haviam defendido e pelo governo de Michelle Bachelet, que no atual momento cumpre a promessa de realizar uma reforma de vulto. A reforma que começou a ser discutida em 2006, no entanto, não poderia prever a crise financeira de 2008 que agora coloca sua efetividade em xeque aumentando os riscos de não alcance de benefícios previdenciário definidos como mínimos. / Abstract: In 1981, under the dictatorship of the general Augusto Pinochet, the Chilean pension system went through the most radical reform ever seen. Years later, the Chilean private pension system became a role model recommended by the World Bank and inspired several other reforms in Latin America and around the globe. Soon, the implemented model that had promised higher pensions and extended coverage proved itself excessively costly, and the fiscal expenses supposed to decrease, turned out higher than expected. The short comes of the Chilean pension system became more explicit once international agencies that had once supported it started admitting the failures. Also, Michelle Bachelet's government stated the need for change, putting into practice the promised considerable reform. However, the reform started being discussed in 2006, before the financial crises of 2008 that now puts its effectiveness in doubt and brings up the risk of forcing many Chileans to have pensions below the set minimum amount. / Mestrado / Economia Social e do Trabalho / Mestre em Desenvolvimento Econômico

Les retraites peuvent-elles être sécurisées ? Est-il possible de revendiquer des droits acquis immuables ? Quels sont les procédés mobilisables pour assurer la sécurité juridique des travailleurs et anciens travailleurs à l’égard de leurs retraites ? S’appliquent-ils de la même façon pour tous les niveaux (base, complémentaire, supplémentaire) ? Ces questions émergent parce que les retraites sont constamment exposées à des changements normatifs, conjoncturels ou personnels susceptibles de les altérer. Le principe de l’intangibilité des pensions liquidées, créé par la jurisprudence, bénéficie d’un poids juridique, politique et doctrinal remarquable. Il invite à aborder la recherche sous le prisme de la liquidation, c’est-à-dire en tenant compte du calcul du montant de la pension notifié par les caisses de retraite, et qui symbolise l’entrée en jouissance de cette prestation. Cette opération est effectivement une étape essentielle pour mesurer le degré de sécurisation. Le droit à pension en constitution est instable, perméable à des réformes pouvant le dégrader. À l’inverse, une fois la pension liquidée, la jurisprudence recourt à des mécanismes juridiques parfois innovants afin de la préserver. Mais la liquidation se révèle en certains cas étrangère au processus de sécurisation. Les retraites peuvent être sécurisées indépendamment de leur liquidation. Le droit positif est de plus en plus sensible aux fragilités d’un parcours professionnel susceptibles de perturber les retraites en constitution. Parallèlement, la liquidation ne saurait offrir aux retraites une sécurisation aboutie. Cette dernière dépend, sur bien des aspects, du contexte conjoncturel qui les entoure / Can pensions be secured ? May we claim immutable acquired rights ? What are the processes that can be used to ensure the legal security of workers and former workers concerning their pensions ? Do they apply the same level of legal security to each different pension plans, basic (guaranteed and redistributed by the state), supplementary (to complement the basic one) and special (voluntary basis) ? These issues emerge because pensions are constantly exposed to normative, cyclical or personal changes that may alter them. The principle of the inviolability of the liquidated pensions, created by the jurisprudence, benefit from an incredible impact legal, political and doctrinal important. It invites the research under the prism of the liquidation, considering the calculation of the amount pension notified by the pension funds, and which symbolizes the entry into the use of this benefit. This operation is indeed an essential step to measure the degree of security. The right to a pension is, in fact, unstable, permeable to reforms that can degrade it. Conversely, once the pension is liquidated, the jurisprudence uses sometimes innovative legal mechanisms to preserve it. But in some cases, liquidation does not have anything to do with the process of securing the pensions. They can be secured independently of their liquidation. Positive law is more and more sensitive to the weaknesses of a professional career that may disrupt the pensions that are being set up. At the same time, liquidation would not be able to offer to the pensions a complete security which depends in many ways, on the cyclical context surrounding them
