How Millennials Could Upend Wall Street and Corporate America

by Morley Winograd and Dr. Michael Hais

http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/research/files/papers/2014/05/millennials%20wall%20st/brookings_winogradv5.pdf

[full-text, 19 pages]

By 2020, Millennials will comprise more than one of three adult Americans. It is estimated that by 2025 they will make up as much as 75 percent of the workforce. Millennials’ desire for pragmatic action that drives results will overtake today’s emphasis on ideology and polarization as Boomers finally fade from the scene. Thus, understanding the generation’s values offers a window into the future of corporate America.

Press Release 28 May 2014

New Paper: "How Millennials Could Upend Wall Street and Corporate America"

http://www.brookings.edu/blogs/fixgov/posts/2014/05/28-winograd-hais-millennials-wall-street-kamarck?utm_campaign=Brookings+Brief&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=12904118&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_hwUVjW87VXVuq3x1t_Wv0W3yefMGiYWaQAkTYrxacEzf0rehbYsrdMGdvi0xCWSK0Adto84Ru2bjiX4E4r8g6f8ABNQ&_hsmi=12904118

Among the many eye-popping findings in Morley Winograd and Mike Hais’ new paper on the millennial generation is that their attitudes towards the banking industry make it number one on a list of industries likely to experience severe disruption in its business model in the future. Their paper, the third is a series of Brookings’ papers on 21st Century Capitalism, carefully examines the culture and values of a generation that, because of its size and its unique experience, is likely to dominate American culture for years to come. And the anticipated outcomes for business as usual on Wall Street are not good.

Millennials’ attitudes as consumers, as workers, and as investors are unique enough for Winograd and Hais to conclude that Wall Street may well be in for a “millennial reckoning.” For example, one of the studies the authors cite found that almost two-thirds of millennials "would rather make $40,000 a year at a job they love than $100,000 a year at a job they think is boring." Not only do millennials focus on corporate social responsibility, but their lack of trust in the financial sector does not indicate good things for the current governing philosophy on Wall Street. As the paper points out, organizational cultures “that lose touch with the changes taking place in a society pose a clear danger to the future of those organizations.” This does not “bode well for the survival of America’s current corporate governance practices."

U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO)

Retirement Security: Challenges for Those Claiming Social Security Benefits Early and New Health Coverage Options GAO-14-311: Published: Apr 23, 2014. Publicly Released: May 27, 2014.

http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-14-311

or

http://www.gao.gov/assets/670/662727.pdf

[full-text, 75 pages]

What GAO Found

Several work-related factors may cause people to claim Social Security benefits early and suggest they may face challenges in continuing to work at older ages. For example, those who worked in physically-demanding blue collar jobs were 55 percent more likely to claim benefits prior to their full retirement age compared to those in all other occupations after controlling for other factors (see figure). Those who were out of the workforce or had longer work histories by age 60-62 were also significantly more likely to claim early. In addition to work-related characteristics, other factors, such as having poorer expectations of living to age 75 significantly increase the likelihood of claiming early.

[CHART-- Work-Related Factors Affecting the Likelihood of Claiming Benefits Early]

Those who delay claiming until their full retirement age tend to have greater income and wealth in retirement and rely less on Social Security than those who claim earlier. Our analysis shows that the median income for those who delay was 45 percent higher after claiming benefits than for those who claimed early, and 33 percent higher at age 72. Although delayed claimers have higher median Social Security benefits, those benefits make up a smaller portion of household income than for early claimers. Even when comparing early and delayed claimers with similar total income after claiming, average household income for delayed claimers was higher at age 72 than for early claimers. However, for both early and delayed claimers, Social Security benefits accounted for an increasing share of total income as they aged.

In 2014, some early claimers, especially those without access to health coverage, may benefit from certain provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) intended to improve the availability and affordability of health coverage. GAO estimates that nearly a million early claimers did not have government or employer-sponsored health insurance before 2014. Of these, 14 percent may be newly eligible for Medicaid in 2014 due to expansion in 25 states and the District of Columbia and 58 percent could be eligible for tax credits that reduce the premiums for coverage purchased through the new health insurance exchanges. However, GAO estimates that 10 percent of these early claimers had incomes below the federal poverty level but lived in states that did not expand Medicaid and had incomes too low for federal exchange tax credits.

Why GAO Did This Study

Deciding when to retire and claim Social Security benefits can be one of the most important financial decisions older Americans make. Despite higher monthly benefits for those who delay, many people still claim Social Security retirement benefits at age 62, the earliest age of eligibility. In 2014, these early claimers will see their monthly benefits reduced by 25 percent compared to what they would have received if they had delayed claiming until age 66, the current full retirement age. At the same time, some early claimers do not have access to government or employer-sponsored health insurance. These early claimers may have been able to purchase coverage on the individual market, but they may have also been subject to denials and rate increases because of their health status.

To better understand the circumstances faced by those who claim early Social Security benefits, GAO examined: (1) demographic and occupational characteristics associated with early claiming; (2) retirement income of early claimers compared to those who delay; and (3) how PPACA changes health coverage options for early claimers. More specifically, GAO examined the characteristics and income of early claimers using data from the Health and Retirement Study, as well as the eligibility for PPACA insurance programs using 2009-2011 American Community Survey data.

GAO received technical comments on a draft of this report from the Department of Labor and the Social Security Administration and incorporated them as appropriate.
