Center for Retirement Research at Boston College

Recognized by the New York Times as “…the nation’s leading center on retirement studies,” our research covers any issue affecting individuals’ income in retirement. Our main areas are: Social Security; state and local pensions; health and long-term care; financing retirement; and older workers.

The Center’s work goes beyond economics. We study the behavioral factors that drive individuals’ decisions so we can craft solutions that work in practice, not just in theory.
