At 12pm, Tuesday, 21 July, ESRI researchers, Anne Nolan and Barra Roantree, will present their new report 'Income adequacy in retirement: Evidence from the Irish longitudinal study on ageing (TILDA)' over Zoom.
ESRI Director, Alan Barrett, will introduce the event and moderate the post-presentation Q and A.
Paper abstract: A key area of policy concern is to what extent those approaching the state pension age (SPA) will have adequate resources in retirement. While the current rate of income poverty among the older population is lower than for other groups (particularly children), concerns over the adequacy of retirement income in Ireland are widespread. In this report, data from the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) are used to assess the extent to which a cohort of individuals born between 1955 and 1960 will have an adequate level of income in retirement. Adequacy is assessed against a number of different benchmarks, such as replacement rates, income poverty levels and a minimum essential standard of living.
