The number of older Americans participating in the work force has been rising over the last 15 years or so, after dropping steadily for decades. Researchers attribute that to change in retirement laws, increased lifespans and increasing financial pressures from drops in stock prices to increased health care costs.
The Savings and Retirement Forum is dedicated to bringing together scholars, policy staffers, and industry experts to discuss and explore issues related to the issues of pensions, savings, and retirement.

The Forum hosts a monthly breakfast in Washington DC as well as an annual one day conference each Summer while informing its members of events, research, and news relevant to the field.
