Baby Boomer's Retirement Prospects An Overview

Over the past 15 years, the retirement prospects of the baby-boom generation (people born from 1946 to 1964) have become a source of public concern. Some experts contend that low saving by boomers could limit economic growth in the U.S. & compound the financial pressures that face gov't. programs such as Social Security & Medicare. This CBO study updates & expands on a 1993 CBO report on the retirement preparedness of boomers. It places the baby-boom retirement issues in historical & policy context, describes the methodologies used to analyze that issue, reviews numerous studies of retirement preparedness that have been published since 1993, & draws general conclusions from their findings.
