| Annotation | Research on Americans' retirement readiness indicates a wide range of preparedness for the golden years. Called a 'crisis' by researchers, retirement for some may include significant choices: continued employment or utilisation of social welfare services. This article describes factors contributing to the retirement crisis and roles social workers can play in assisting older retirees. Disparity in household retirement savings exists by ethnicity. On the front lines serving ageing individuals and their families, social work professionals are well situated to collaborate with individuals and other providers to address financial, social and emotional pillars necessary in facilitating a safe and secure retirement.
