Retirement Benefits [Abstract]

Pension Benefits

Pension BenefitsWe sponsor qualified and supplemental (non-qualified) noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain full-time salaried and hourly U.S. employees.  The most significant of these plans, the YUM Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), is funded. We fund our other U.S. plans as benefits are paid.  The Plan and our non-qualified plans in the U.S. are closed to new salaried participants.  

The components of net periodic benefit cost associated with our U.S. pension plans are as follows:
