Pension and IRA Coverage Among Boomer, Pre-Boomer, and Older Workers

Research Report

February 2000


This Public Policy Institute paper by Jules Lichtenstein and Ke Bin Wu looks at the retirement plan coverage of boomer, pre-boomer and older workers as well as vulnerable groups within this workforce--women, minorities, and low-income workers.
