| dc.description.abstract | The primary objective of this study is to assess the attitudes of employees, at Save the Children, on the implementation of the recently introduced private pension scheme. In this sense, self- administered structured questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data while in depth interview was used for the qualitative study. Simple random sampling was used to select respondents from the total population of Save the Children Addis Ababa/International –based staff members who were previously part of provident fund scheme. The researcher has followed the approach of descriptive qualitative research method and applied simple random sampling technique. The data have been collected using structured, semi-structured questionnaires and interviews, as well as reading materials of the target area. The finding from the descriptive analysis revealed that employees of Save the Children International were well aware of the pros and cons of both the pension and provident fund schemes. The second finding disclosed that the majority of the employees prefer the provident fund over the pension scheme. The analysis also indicated employees’ dissatisfaction with the implementation of the private pension scheme and the consequent several different factors were attached with the dissatisfaction. The findings, therefore, suggested the need for government to further improve the implementation modality of Private Employees’ Pension Proclamation No. 715/2011 in such a way it protects the safety of all citizens. Among such complementary measures is the provision of preretirement withdrawals/loans to those NGO employees with less than 10 years of experience and who would be forced to leave a certain job and wait for the other to come as the lifetimes of jobs in the NGO sector are naturally contract-based and obviously are regulated by the phasing-in and phasing-out projects. The measures, therefore, must protect the interests of the services and tributes of this section of the society from this danger of ending-up with being nothing for their later times; and, in this sense, the measures must benefit these employees to be able to get their genuine tributes and possibly invest for other sources of income that would ensure their living during their retirement ages.
