       REMARKS. 
520 3  Weighed down by population aging, slow economic growth, 
       and high unemployment, National Insurance Schemes in the 
       Caribbean are projected to run substantial deficits and 
       deplete their assets in the next decades, raising the 
       prospects of government intervention. With the region 
       highly indebted, this paper quantifies the impact of three
       parametric reforms--freezing pension benefits for two 
       years, raising the retirement age and increasing the 
       contribution rate by one percentage point--that, if 
       implemented, would put the pension schemes on a stronger 
       financial footing. While the appropriate combination of 
       reforms necessary to eliminate the actuarial deficits 
       varies depending on each country's circumstances, most 
       countries need to undertake reforms now or risk even 
       higher taxes, lower growth and unsustainable debt 
       dynamics.
