  • Current systems heavily reliant on individual savings may lead to widespread income inadequacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explain the systemic gaps contributing to inadequate retirement incomes.
  • To identify key risk factors impacting retirement security for various population segments.
  • To analyze the role of post-retirement risk management and public perception.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of diverse studies on retirement.
  • Review of public opinion surveys regarding retirement income risks.
