The techniques developed are applied to the Turkish pension system, which is particularly interesting as it already faces a severe financial crisis despite a relatively young population. The results confirm the need for urgent reform.vii, 96 leaves, tablesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessComputational methodsSearch algorithmsPension reformPay-as-you-gobased pension systemHD7105.45.T8 K57 2000Pension trusts--Turkey--Mathematical models.Pension--Turkey.Social security--Turkey--Mathematical models.Old age pensions--Turkey.Thesis
