, Kyoung Tae Kim und Sunwoo T. Lee
Abstract
The United States has been experiencing a “gray tsunami” due to its aging population and increased life expectancy. Although this is true in the United States, a similar aging trend is occurring worldwide. These demographic trends will have significant impacts on retirement planning in policy debates such as pension reform, social benefit reform, income tax laws, and retirement pension plans. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of considerations and salient factors when planning for retirement, discusses some perspectives on various issues related to retirement savings, and planning for later life financial stability. The chapter also provides a discussion of the tools and techniques used in retirement planning, including capital needs analysis and assessment of retirement adequacy.
