 The
Center for Economic and Policy
Research was established in 1999 to promote
democratic debate on the most important economic and social issues that
affect people's lives, including
Pension Reform news. In order for citizens to effectively exercise
their voices in a democracy, they should be informed about the problems
and choices that they face. CEPR is committed to presenting issues in an
accurate and understandable manner, so that the public is better
prepared to choose among the various policy options.
 The
Center on Budget and Policy
Priorities is one of the nation’s premier policy
organizations working at the federal and state levels on fiscal policy
and public programs that affect low- and moderate-income families and

The Center conducts research and analysis to help shape public debates
over proposed budget and tax policies and to help ensure that
policymakers consider the needs of low-income families and individuals
in these debates. We also develop policy options to alleviate poverty.

encourage the ongoing exchange of information, ideas, goals and
objectives of retirement planning and member communication.
