Engelhardt, Gary V.; Gruber, Jonathan; Perry, Cynthia D.
Journal of Human Resources, v40 n2 p354 Spr 2005

The implications are that elderly may have to increase their post-retirement working, reduce consumption and opt for shared living rather than independent living conditions. The last of the three options before the elderly persons is likely to see dramatic increase as a consequence of the social security reforms.
