Abstract

The savings, home values, and portfolios of U.S. families have been hard hit in the recent financial crisis, which has raised concerns for Baby Boomers as they begin to enter retirement. The financial issues facing the aging population of developed countries are detailed and discussed in this compilation of presentations from the second Future of Life-Cycle Saving and Investing conference.
