A lifetime of hard work should translate into a dignified and secure retirement in America, yet economists project that 40 percent of Americans will run out of money during retirement. Many factors perpetuate the US retirement crisis, including economic inequality and wage stagnation, the lack of access to employer-sponsored retirement savings plans, and soaring health-care expenses. As 2024 represents the apex of baby boomers reaching age 65, there’s an urgent need for bold leadership, innovation, and action to advance lifetime financial security. The need is especially pressing for younger generations who face daunting obstacles to early saving. Join this panel to hear what our nation’s top financial leaders are doing to “retire inequality” and ensure that all Americans can enjoy a healthy, financially secure future.
