Baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, will begin retiring in 2011. Over 77 million strong in the US alone, they represent a group that will continue to have an enormous impact on the consumer marketplace, labor forces, and government finances.
This symposium, jointly hosted by AARP’s Global Aging Program (www.aarp.org/international) and Harvard University’s Generations Policy Initiative (www.genpolicy.com), explored the attitudes of European and American boomers as they consider their impending retirements. It also examined whether boomers are adequately prepared for retirement, and whether businesses around the world will have an adequate supply of employees.
