Presentation transcript:

Laws that mandate employers of a certain size to offer either enrollment into a state-administered or private retirement plan. Retirement plans are diversified investment portfolios that allow workers to save a small piece of every paycheck, tax-free, into an account, which they can access as a retiree and/or senior citizen for personal use.

In Massachusetts, more than 1 In Massachusetts, more than 1.2 million workers, that is 35% of the workforce, do not have retirement plans. (AARP) Illinois and Oregon have passed laws that mandate employers to offer a public or private retirement plan option for all workers. Other states are investigating the policy, such as California, who launched an investigation committee to research and develop a state-wide system that all workers can have access to. Tens of millions of low-wage workers enter retirement without any savings, and thus are dependent on safety-net programs to survive. (Chicago Tribune)

When people enter retirement without any savings, they have to rely on government assistance to survive. By creating opportunities for families to start saving for retirement, the public cost for providing healthcare and economic services to the elderly would decrease significantly. (AARP) Income inequality is greatest among the age demographic 65 years and older. (Bureau of labor Statistics) A lack of savings, means many senior citizens fall victim to excessive debt and financial hardship. More than 33% of America’s 115 million households (33 million families) do not have a savings or a pension/retirement plan. Financially stable families and communities make our economy stronger. (Federal Reserve)

Spread the word about Required Retirement Plans and encourage friends and families to ask businesses and politicians to support them and make good policy. Join organizations like Fair Shot to organize communities and advocate for Required Retirement Plans in Massachusetts. Share personal stories and experiences through social media and op-ed writing in local papers.
