Brandeis study shows worsening of senior economic security

The Institute on Assets and Social Policy at Brandeis University has published From Bad to Worse: Senior Economic Insecurity on the Rise, which is based on the Senior Financial Stability Index and examines the increase in the number of economically insecure seniors by race/ethnicity, gender, and marital status between 2004 and 2008.  The report also discusses contributing factors and considers options for reversing the trend.

The study was funded by Atlantic Philanthropies.  To download the report, go here.
