Aegon Center for Longevity and Retirement's (ACLR) mission is to conduct research, educate the public and contribute to a global dialogue on trends, issues and opportunities surrounding longevity, population aging and retirement security. Our insights also help us in assisting customers, now and in the future.
Today's workers find themselves in a different world to that of their parents: government-sponsored retirement plans are under severe financial strain and traditional defined benefits plans offered by employers are disappearing. Individuals are expected to take on increasing risk and responsibility to self fund a greater portion of their retirement. Since 2018, ACLR has been discussing these changes with a call for a New Social Contract built on the principles of sustainability and solidarity where no one is left behind in preparing for retirement.
