Pensions problems and the hierarchy of risks
Article Abstract:
The financial risks associated with providing for retirement in the United States are plenty. The Social Security introduced for welfare of people is a mix of three main issues focusing on the aging population of the United States. These three issues are the soundness of the Social Security system, encouraging people to invest for their future, and the central agency/person involved in managing the risk. For this purpose various plans have been introduced such as the 401(k) plans, the defined benefit plans etc. A review of these plans is presented.
