Weiss posits that the four proposals complement each other. “They balance being innovative and are practical and implementable,” she says, adding that the group understood that improving retirement security is a complicated issue. “And the more angles we could come at it from, the better off we would be.
“One of the things we discovered while doing this work was that there was so much that we do not understand about older workers, and especially older workers who are vulnerable in terms of retirement security.” Weiss adds. She notes that NASI and AARP plan to continue to understand the specific challenges so they can propose and advocate for better policies.
