Material Detail

Students in an upper division labor economics course practice applying the labor force participation model to retirement decisions using a USA Today article describing recent retirement trends.

During the multiple rounds of problem solving facilitated by this send-a-problem, students identify how changes in labor income, nonlabor income, and preferences are described in the popular press. These components of the labor force participation model are then used to compare changes in retirement decisions as described in the associated article with theoretical predictions.
