For private-sector workers, such jobs have become a rarity. "Defined-benefit plans are going the way of the dodo," says Olivia Mitchell of the Wharton Business School in Philadelphia. Over the past ten years global assets in DB plans have grown by just 2.9% a year, whereas those in defined-contribution plans have increased by 7.5%, according to a Towers Watson study. Between 1979 and 2009 the share of employees in DB pension plans in America fell from 62% to 7% of the total (see chart, next page), according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI), whereas those in DC plans rose from 16% to 67% (the rest had a bit of both). Assets in American DC schemes, also known as 401(k) plans after the subsection of the tax code that created them, were worth $2.8 trillion at the end of 2009.
