2022 Working Longer and Retirement Conference

Event Details:

Thursday, October 13, 2022 - Friday, October 14, 2022

The tenth annual Working Longer and Retirement conference was held on October 13-14, 2022 at SIEPR.  The conference is organized by John Shoven. 

It was originally funded by a series of grants from the Sloan Foundation, but this year’s conference was supported by the Financial Freedom Initiative funded from the Charles Schwab Foundation. 

This is a research conference concentrating on issues regarding retirement including Social Security, employer-sponsored retirement plans, increasing life expectancy, labor force participation, long-term care and health insurance. 

Social Security, Medicare and most state pension plans are inadequately funded to meet their obligations.  How to adjust these programs to deal with this problem is just one of the topics taken up in the Working Longer and Retirement conferences.  The “working longer” part of the title of the conference reflects the fact that encouraging people to work longer and retire later may be an important part of the solution to the difficulties in financing retirement in this country.  Top academics from around the country are invited to participate.
