Retirement Section News, September 2022

The August 2022 edition of the Retirement Forum on macro and micro retirement planning focuses on three reports from the Society of Actuaries Research Institute highlighting key findings on the post-retirement period and post-retirement risks and includes comments from various contributors along with responses to these comments by the author.

  • “How People Plan for Retirement” identifies common planning practices and compares how plans differ from reality. It discusses the implications of these disparities and how they can become better aligned with a long-term perspective.
  • “Women and Post-Retirement Risks” looks at how certain risks are a greater concern for women than for men due to their role as family caretakers, lower retirement resources, generally living longer and having longer expected periods of disability.
  • “Family is Important for Retirement Security” analyzes the role that family plays in addressing a wide range of issues for individuals as they age and lose the ability to care for themselves. Each report concludes with tips for how to respond to the research.
