Trustworthy, interdisciplinary, data-driven social insurance research.
LATEST RESEARCH:
The Academy’s nonpartisan Older Workers Retirement Security Task Force provides policymakers with a broad range of policy options to improve retirement security for older workers in physically demanding jobs, but who do not currently qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or might qualify but struggle to access the benefits.
The COVID-19 pandemic took a significant toll on the health and well-being of older Americans, particularly those living in nursing facilities. The pandemic led to a 1% increase in deaths among individuals over age 65 in both 2020 and 2021 compared to predictions based on 2019 rates.

The Academy builds social insurance insight for a stable and vibrant future.
