3 Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies The Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies ( The Transamerica Center ) is a non-profit corporation dedicated to educating the American public on trends, issues, and opportunities related to saving and planning for retirement and achieving financial security in retirement. The Transamerica Center s research focuses on how to educate and effect positive changes among the American public in achieving greater levels of financial security in retirement. Its research emphasizes savings trends among all Americans and segments within the population, trends of employersponsored retirement plans and their participating employees, and the implications of legislative and regulatory changes. The Transamerica Center s outreach efforts include a comprehensive website, publishing of research findings through media articles and interviews, collaboration with industry groups and other organizations sharing an interest in this cause. For more information about The Transamerica Center, please see 3
4 Survey Objectives For the past seven years, the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies has conducted a national survey of U.S. business employers and workers regarding their attitudes toward retirement. The research emphasizes employer-sponsored retirement plans, issues faced by small- to midsized companies and their employees, and the implications of legislative and regulatory changes. To this end, Harris Interactive was commissioned to conduct the Eighth Annual Transamerica Retirement Survey. Where appropriate, questions were tracked and some new questions were added to investigate new topics of interest. 4
5 Survey Methodology A telephone study was conducted among 1,402 American workers, using a nationally representative random sample meeting the following criteria: Work full-time for pay at a company with at least 10 employees 18 or older Excluding government workers and not-for-profit organizations A total of 715 men and 687 women 20 minute telephone interview. Interviews were conducted between July 27 and Oct. 7, Data were weighted to ensure that each quota group had a representative sample based on the number of employees at companies in each employee size range. Margin of error at the 95% confidence level is +/- 2.6%. A in the report indicates a number is significantly higher. The base size is 671 for large companies (500+ workers) and 731 for small companies ( workers). Other reduced bases are noted throughout the report. 5

21 Final Conclusions at Risk The Eighth Annual Transamerica Retirement Survey reveals that women s retirement security is indeed at risk The Transamerica Center believes education is critical to effecting change and recommends educational efforts be undertaken to: Further impart to women the need to save more due to longer life expectancy Increase retirement plan participation and contribution rates Provide tools and resources to help women estimate their retirement needs and manage their retirement savings Take advantage of tax incentives for saving (i.e., 401(k) deferrals, Saver s Credit, and more) Encourage women to consider long-term care insurance 21
