Real-World Shocks and Retirement System Resiliency

Edited By John Sabelhaus, Stephen P. Utkus, and Olivia S. Mitchell

Growing awareness of real-world shocks including market downturns, health surprises, and labor market readjustments is calling into question the ability of global retirement systems to remain healthy and sustain future retirees. Real-World Shocks and Retirement System Resiliency explores how the changing financial and labor markets, and social as well as private insurance programs, will drive the need for new policy to meet these challenges. Researchers discuss how economic and financial phenomena are changing saving, investments, wealth, and inequality, as well as pension resiliency around the world. The volume will interest asset managers, researchers, management/advisory firms, financial advisors, and policymakers.
