Most Americans say Baby Boomers who are at or approaching age 65 should be encouraged to continue working past the traditional retirement age, a survey shows.
A multi-generational survey conducted by the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion sponsored by Home Instead Senior Care in Omaha, Neb., found 71 percent of those polled believe 65 is too young for many Boomers to stop working.
Seventy-five percent of Baby Boomers, 79 percent of the Greatest Generation, 65 percent of Gen X and 62 percent of the Millennial Generation believe Baby Boomers should stay in the workforce past retirement age, the survey said.
At the same time, 69 percent of Americans – including 71 percent of Gen-Xers and 61 percent of the Millennials – say they have a responsibility to provide for those who retire before them.
The survey polled 1,029 adults nationwide.
