A Multidisciplinary Review of Research on the Distributional Effects of Raising Social Security's Early Entitlement Age

摘要: When estimating potential adversity caused by an increase in the early entitlement age (EEA), findings from both EEA literature and broader public health do not suggest that Social Security – covered worker population can be easily separated into two groups unaffected or low-risk group identifiable vulnerable high-risk group. This evidence appears largely supportive of conclusions reached retired-worker benefit’s original designers may implementation difficulties for proposals seek to raise EEA, while protecting deemed proposers adversely affected increase. Because risks insured against benefit are limited segment population, universality Old-Age Insurance under current law better match underlying exposure risk than a targeted needs-based alternative.
