How do other countries manage savings?

Many countries offer similar tax-advantaged savings schemes to encourage their citizens to save and invest, though the specifics vary greatly. For example, some have retirement accounts with tax deductions, while others offer general investment accounts with specific tax breaks. The UK's ISA system is one approach among many global strategies.
