Summary:

Explores Social Security reform by reviewing various conceptual elements of reform plans and presenting them in "generic" form to illustrate how certain changes would alter projected future retirement benefits. Examines several benefit-constraint options, including raising the age at which full Social Security retirement benefits can be received, changing the way initial benefits are computed, constraining cost-of-living adjustments, and using personal savings accounts as a supplement or partial replacement of the existing system. Discusses projected effects of expenditure constraint measures and personal account measures. Includes tables and graphs.
