ABOUT THE JOURNAL

The Journal of Retirement (JOR) is both a scholarly and practitioner-focused journal that presents cutting-edge retirement research. The JOR explores a diverse range of subjects, including retirement preparedness, pension plan design, behavioral finance, risk management strategies, demographics, longevity, social security, regulatory policy, and financial literacy and education.

MISSION

JOR’s mission is to foster research on retirement security by academics, practitioners, and policy makers in all these areas that will lead to policies and practices that enhance the welfare of older Americans. The Journal of Retirement highlights significant research on retirement funding and provides a platform for discussion of the critical issues that will shape behavior in the investment community.

VISION

The Journal of Retirement aims to be the go-to source for the retirement security research, policy, and practitioner community in order to improve the welfare of the world's aging population.

HISTORY

The decline of the defined benefit pension means that working Americans will need to rely on 401(k) and other defined contribution (DC) pension plans; or failing that, on their own savings. Americans face daunting challenges to achieving financial security in retirement. Three in particular stand out: how to save enough, how to earn a decent rate of return on those savings, and how to make the retirement nest egg last for the rest of one’s life. Surmounting these challenges is daunting, particularly without a pension plan. The Journal of Retirement was launched in the summer of 2013 - read the first editor's letter here - to provide a platform for retirement research and investment strategies.
