A Project of SCEPA, Demos, and the Economic Policy Institute
NEWS
Ezra Klein reports on the retirement security crisis and the Demos report "The Failure of the 401(k)" in Newsweek and the Washington Post. The Demos report is part of SCEPA's Beyond 401(k) project.
Teresa Ghilarducci is quoted in the New York Times Week in Review section on the next growth machines: age and disease.
SCEPA responds to a controversial proposal from the co-chairs of President Obama's 'deficit commission.' SCEPA has actively called for reform of tax subsidies for retirement.
Teresa Ghilarducci was featured in a Newsweek article on how to retire in a post-recession world.
SCEPA joined the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), Demos and the Pension Rights Center to present a new Demos report, The Failure of the 401(k), on Capitol Hill. The event documented the breakdown in retirement security and needed reforms.
