How Has Pension Wealth Changed Over Time?
National Public Pension Coalition Link to more items from this source
Aug. 12, 2016
"Participation in employer-sponsored retirement plans has declined over time. Even though participation in 401(k)-style plans has risen, it has not offset the decline of defined benefit pensions.... [H]igh-income households had 52 percent of the wealth in 401(k)-style plans, compared to just 35 percent of the wealth in defined benefit plans.... [T]he increase in 401(k)-style plans has caused a decrease in the wealth-to-income ratio ... because the wealth accumulated in 401(k)-style plans is not easily transformed into income in retirement."
