10 Recommendation 1 Change the legislation and regulations that govern defined benefit retirement plans to make them more attractive to employers and thereby more widely available to employees.
11 Recommendation 2 Increase monthly Social Security retirement benefit payments to lifetime low-wage earners.
12 Recommendation 3 Lessen the disadvantage embedded in the Social Security benefit formula for beneficiaries who never marry.
13 Recommendation 4 Modify the formula used to calculate Social Security benefits payable to the widowed spouses of lifetime low-wage workers.
14 Recommendation 5 Provide job and career training/retraining to enable low-wage workers to increase their lifetime earnings.
15 Recommendation 6 Enhance job flexibility and type of benefits provided to better meet the needs of the workforce 55 years and older.
16 Recommendation 7 Create a universal child development account model that allows children to build assets for the future.
17 Recommendation 8 Update and streamline current incentives in the tax code so that low- and moderate-income households have the opportunity to prepare and save for key life events.
18 Recommendation 9 Expand availability of accounts dedicated for retirement so that everyone has the opportunity to receive matched savings for use in old age regardless of employment history.
19 Discussion and Conclusion o African Americans are frequently in the most vulnerable economic circumstances. o In terms of policy, they need greater supports when young as well as ways to increase and preserve assets during retirement. o The United States rarely considers how policy shifts might impact low-income African Americans. o Promoting and prioritizing economic security is essential.
