The Urban Institute's research is included in five separate research briefs. One--"How Long Do Boomers Plan to Work?" by Gordon Mermin, Richard W. Johnson, and Dan Murphy--finds that as boomers approach retirement, "they intend to work longer than people born a dozen years earlier did, a shift that will help promote economic growth and partly offset the economic pressures created by an aging population." Among workers ages 51-56 in 2004, 51% said they expect to work past age 62, up from 47% among comparable workers in 1992.
The other four reports are:
- "Would Raising the Social Security Retirement Age Harm Low-Income Groups?"
- "Minimum Benefits in Social Security: Design Details Matter"
- "Minimum Benefits in Social Security Could Reduce Aged Poverty"
- "Racial Differences in Baby Boomers' Retirement Expectations"
