Given the projected increase in both individual life expectancy and sheer number of retirees, however, the current system faces an eventual overload. Alternative proposals have emerged, ranging from reductions in future benefits to a rise in tax revenue to various forms of investment-based personal retirement accounts. As this volume suggests, the distributional consequences of these proposals are substantially different and may disproportionately affect those groups who depend on social security to avoid poverty in old age. Together, these studies persuasively show that appropriately designed investment-based social security reforms can effectively reduce the long-term burden of an aging society on future taxpayers, increase the expected future income of retirees, and mitigate poverty rates among the elderly. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 606 $aSocial security$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aSocial security$zUnited States$xFinance$vCongresses 606 $aPension trusts$xInvestments$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aPrivatization$zUnited States$vCongresses 615 0$aSocial security 615 0$aSocial security$xFinance 615 0$aPension trusts$xInvestments 615 0$aPrivatization 676 $a368.4/3/00973 701 $aFeldstein$b Martin S$088785 701 $aLiebman$b Jeffrey B$01668940 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824172603321 996 $aThe distributional aspects of social security and social security reform$94029900 997 $aUNINA
