Age groups: the elderly

Assessing Policies for Retirement Income

Needs for Data, Research, and Models

by Constance F. Citro and Eric A. Hanushek, Editors; Panel on Retirement Income Modeling, National Research Council

Description

The retirement income security of older Americans and the cost of providing that security are increasingly the subject of major debate. This volume assesses what we know and recommends what we need to know to estimate the short- and long-term effects of policy alternatives. It details gaps in data and research and evaluates possible models to estimate the impact of policy changes that could affect retirement income from Social Security, pensions, personal savings, and other sources.
