8 Today s Retirement Challenges Improvements to healthcare and living standards has lead to an increase in the average life expectancy. People all over the world are living longer, healthier lives. They are also having fewer children. Increased life expectancy and falling fertility rates has lead to an imbalance in the number of retirees dependent upon social security programs and a decrease in the number of working-age people funding them. Unless our government initiates legislative changes and individuals take more responsibility for their retirement income, realizing the true benefits of the golden years could become more difficult to achieve 1. Government reform aside, individuals need access to retirement income solutions from the institutions they trust most. 1 AARP, Financing Retirement: Preparing Today for the Challenges of Tomorrow
