This event has passed.
There is no question that Americans face challenges in saving and preparing for retirement. How are different generations and demographics experiencing those challenges? And what solutions should policymakers be looking at to improve the current retirement security system?
BPC led a discussion on where retirement policy stands and where it is headed. The former public trustees of Social Security and Medicare trust funds will offer an assessment of the state of these important programs. Experts will also look at current efforts by congressional and industry leaders to move the needle on retirement policy.
