This report addresses the funding shortfall of the Social Security system and the declining rates of return on contributions projected for younger workers. This report outlines a practical, balanced reform package that combines reforms in the basic program, which would ensure its solvency and preserve a social safety net for retirees, with individual retirement savings accounts, which would raise private returns and national saving.
