Abstract:
This systematic review focuses on examining the effects of interventions that facilitate retirement savings through a financial capability approach, which combines financial education and financial access. Systematic review procedures were used to search for published and unpublished experimental studies in multiple databases and gray literature sources that met eligibility criteria. Four research projects published through May 2020 were eligible for the review. Results suggest that, thus far, there is no clear rigorous evidence that the interventions that use a financial capability approach to promote retirement savings improve individual financial behaviors or financial outcomes. Policy and practice implications are discussed.
