Video: Challenges Facing Public Pensions

The 2014 CSG National Conference was held last month, but videos of the presentations have just begun to surface in the past few weeks.

This presentation touches on the history of public pension plans in the United States, the challenges those plans face today, and the retirement “insecurity” faced by private sector workers.

The talk, titled “Public Pensions”, was given by Hank Kim, executive director and counsel for the National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems. His bio:
