“What Explains The Widening Gap In Retirement Ages By Education?,” by Matthew S. Rutledge, Center for Retirement Research at Boston College

“The gains in the average retirement age since the 1990s have been driven almost solely by those with more education. Today, male college graduates retire three years later than high school graduates (see Figure 1). While the story is more complicated for women because of the dramatic change in their labor force participation over the latter half of the 20^th cen­tury, the overall message is similar: like men, the gap in average retirement ages by education has grown substantially.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, Administrative Coordinator, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

More evidence how the pendulum has swung in favor of elites and against less-educated workers.
