What are the prospects for the standard of living of retirees?
Pensioners are in a poor position to compensate for differences between the expected purchasing power of their pensions and what occurs in practice. It is often too late to change work and savings decisions they made earlier with a particular expectation of real retirement income. Unless protected by indexed pensions or annuities, older people’s consumption levels and relative standards of living can be disproportionately affected.
