• A wide variety of manufacturing companies, financial institutions, service providers, and government entities, as well as countless other organizations and individuals, have invested billions of dollars in recent years to prepare to serve the anticipated future needs of the U.S. Retirement Market – without actually knowing the true size or growth rate of that market in the short and medium term. Surprisingly, even America's largest financial institutions, its most sophisticated consulting firms, and its most essential government entities have not developed and published detailed estimates regarding the actual number of retirees in the U.S. over the next 25 years. Instead, they have relied heavily upon a gross oversimplification: the oft-cited statistic that America's Baby Boom generation, which is beginning to retire, represents a massive cohort of 78 million people.
• The Coyne Partnership has developed the first detailed estimates – by year, by age, by category – of the size and growth rate of the U.S. Retirement Market over the next 25 years by collecting, reconciling, and analyzing data from a variety of sources – and the results of our study are stunning.
• The actual size and growth rate of the U.S. Retirement Market will be much smaller than commonly believed , and the consequences of this fact – both positive and negative – will undoubtedly be significant for organizations and individuals of all kinds.

Do you run, or work for, a company that markets products or services to current or impending retirees? Does your personal 401(k) account or stock portfolio include holdings in such companies? Are you a government employee whose agency's mission would be affected positively or negatively by the size of the nation's workforce vs. its retiree population? Or a university professor seeking to understand the true future size of the retirement market for your own research?

If you fit any of these descriptions (or many other descriptions), you will benefit immensely from the in-depth analysis contained in this study.

The 117-page Base Version includes the following:

• A valuable Introduction explaining many subtle distinctions that are required to fully understand the definition of “the retirement market” – distinctions that are vital since different companies or government entities may be interested in very different segments of the overall retirement market.
• A no-holds-barred Summary Of Key Findings , including eight graphic PowerPoint exhibits that enable the reader to effectively yet concisely communicate those key findings to colleagues, customers, constituents, or other important audiences.
• 96 pages of Detailed Study Results , broken down into four separate sections, featuring extensive data tables that show the specific number of persons estimated to be working (broken into various sub-categories) versus retired (also broken into various sub-categories), by age, for each of the next 25 years , based on Americans' current propensity to retire, plus additional estimates for each of the next 10 years based on their potential future propensity to retire if recent behavioral trends continue or accelerate.
