Legislative activity in 2009 ended much as it began, with lawmakers focused primarily on economic recovery.
No
major employment or labor law initiatives were undertaken during the
fourth quarter; however, several laws affecting compensation-related
and work-life balance issues were revised. Three issues dominated
legislative agendas on retirement and social security — pension plans
for high earners, promotion of individual participation in pension
savings plans, and an increase in the retirement age. Outside the
United States, few structural changes were planned for health care
systems.
