Overview -- Retirement: How are we doing? -- Retirement and economic growth -- Entitlements: The cornerstone of retirement -- Working longer -- Why is saving so hard? -- Transitioning to retirement in a changing labor market -- How annuities can mitigate uncertainty and improve -- How are families planning for end-of-life care? -- Reverse mortgages -- How to improve retirement accounts -- Improving opportunities for older workers -- Reforming private insurance markets -- A vision for a new retirement paradigm.
"We need a new retirement paradigm as private pensions disappear. Families must take more responsibility for their retirement by saving consistently, working long enough to accumulate enough savings, and spending their savings at an appropriate rate in retirement. Families cannot build a secure retirement by themselves, however; they need help from government and employers. This book discusses the strengths and weaknesses of our current retirement system and suggests feasible, sensible reforms to make it much better"-- Provided by publisher.
