- Abstract
This article discusses the study on pensions and retirement pay of teachers. One of the researchers on this field based the social philosophy of pensions for professional groups upon both economic and social considerations. In another study the benefits to be derived from a retirement system for teachers were stated as follows: the retirement system automatically removes from profession teachers who have become less efficient through age or disability; it encourages individuals of exceptional ability to enter and remain in the profession; it fosters higher teaching efficiency by eliminating worries about economic welfare; and it will aid in stabilizing the teaching profession.
