Abstract

The brief's key findings are: (1) Private pensions cover only about half the workforce at any given time. (2) The lack of coverage creates two types of problems: (2a) about one third of households never have coverage and end up relying solely on Social Security; and (2b) others move in and out of coverage, resulting in inadequate saving. (3) Expanding coverage is a good goal but only a partial solution, as even those with coverage may need an additional tier of saving.
