Few events have posed as many challenges for retirement and
retirement policy as the crisis of the late 2000s. At the end of
the last decade, the United States experienced the Great
Recession-a combination of unprecedented wealth losses and
historically high unemployment increases that marked the longest
economic recession since the Great Depression. These adverse
economic shocks coincided with the burgeoning entry into retirement
by the baby boomer generation, those born in the United States
between 1946 and 1964. The confluence of these trends meant that
retirees may have faced greater economic insecurity than at any
point since World War II. This book brings together a number of
influential researchers whose work is focused on economic policies
and their impacts on retirement income security. They come from
both academic and policy backgrounds. Specifically, half of the
eight contributors are academics, while the other four come from
think tanks in Washington, DC. This book is thus intended to
combine research and policy. This book was published as a special
issue of the Journal of Aging and Social Policy.
