摘要 | Abstract: There is no question that many Americans face challenges in preparing for retirement. Social Security is substantially underfunded, its long-term shortfalls are increasing, and policymakers have not made reform a priority. Nonetheless, analysts’ claims that Americans face a “retirement crisis” overstate what households will need in retirement, fail to account for how the presence of children in a household affects the need to save, and incorrectly point to households’ declining wealth-to-income ratios as a sign of deteriorating retirement saving. A careful review of data and retirement studies reveals that the state of retirement preparedness is in fact a more modest, manageable issue. A false sense of crisis risks enacting policies that could have significant costs for government budgets and ordinary Americans’ retirement security. In particular, government-run pension programs are the most poorly funded element of overall retirement saving. Policies that would make Americans more dependent on these programs could put their retirement income security at risk. Why Americans don’t face a retirement crisis |
