Aging and Retirement Issues for LGBTQ+ People Essay Collection
The Society of Actuaries Research Institute’s Aging and Retirement Strategic Research Program in collaboration with the Sexuality and Gender Alliance of Actuaries (SAGAA) is pleased to release a collection of essays in response to a call for essays aimed at a broader exploration of issues related to aging and retirement for LGBTQ+ people. A primary aspect of this call for essays is to explore how retirement-related outcomes are experienced by LGBTQ+ people and the diversity of experiences within this group. Another aspect is to promote enhanced understanding of the underlying issues surrounding these differences. Some essays published in this collection have a broader focus than just retirement.
