Keeping Granny on the Job: Pension Reform and Labor Force Participation in the U.S. and Chile

AEI Event: Keeping Granny on the Job: Pension Reform and Labor Force Participation in the U.S. and Chile, November 13, 2009 http://www.aei.org/event/100170



In an era of increased life expectancies and underfunded pensions, longer work lives may be the best way to increase retirement income security. But what incentives does Social Security present to Americans thinking of working longer? What could reform do to encourage longer work lives?

At this AEI conference, AEI resident scholar Andrew G. Biggs will discuss research on Social Security's incentives to delay retirement, while Estelle James, a pension consultant and former World Bank economist, will present findings on how Chile's 1980 pension reform affected labor force participation by seniors. Jagadeesh Gokhale of the Cato Institute will comment.
