This study launched the SOA’s new Aging and Retirement Strategic Research Program which encompasses the wide of range research the SOA conducts and sponsors in this area.

This new study sought to understand how the habits and behaviors from earlier in life played out in the later years of retirement. This session will present findings from the study including aspects focused on Millennials; a comparison of financial priorities; family obligations, and financial risk concerns. Material related to the Aging and Retirement Strategic Research Program will also be discussed.
