Retirement is not coming as quickly for many Americans. In fact, new data from the Center for Retirement Research shows the average retirement age is now around three years later than it was in the 1990s.
For the 59% of Americans replying to a 2024 YouGov poll indicating they want to retire before 65, this is bad news. However, CRR identified many factors that prompted Americans to retire later, including significant changes in women's labor force participation, as well as shifts in what work looks like for men and women alike.
