CWLC and CCoA Elder Economic Forum: Political, Economic, and Demographic Imapacts on Retirement (2019)
Over the next decade and a half, the number of people in California aged 65 and older will grow by 4 million. We know that our state is struggling to meet the needs of our aging population and many are unable to retire or thrive on their fixed incomes. Consequently, nearly half of California’s older adults are financially insecure or are one unexpected expense away from homelessness and poverty.
CWLC and the California Commission on Aging hosted this interactive forum to offer new information, ideas, and perspectives as we navigate the factors contributing to economic hardship among California’s older population. We hope you find these materials presented at the forum informative.
