Retirement Income Crisis and Social Security

WEBINAR: As traditional sources of retirement security such as pensions, personal savings, and home values have eroded, and wages across most of the income spectrum have stagnated for over four decades, America is facing a retirement security crisis. For vulnerable populations, and for much of the middle class, Social Security is now the only remaining reliable source of retirement income. Yet Social Security finds itself in the crosshairs of Congressional budget cutters. This "Conversations with GIA" webinar presented the latest data on what is at stake for vulnerable populations and the middle class in the Social Security debate. It also addressed how support for Social Security can be buoyed through the power of narrative, by training Americans to effectively tell their stories and create opportunities and forums where they can share these stories of what Social Security and the retirement income crisis means to them.

Presenters: Nancy Altman & Eric Kingson (Strengthen Social Security) and Benjamin Veghte (National Academy of Social Insurance)

Sponsors: The John A. Hartford Foundation and The Atlantic Philanthropies
