India. Report shows retirement plans can face inflation and longevity risks: How to prepare

A new analysis by OmniScience Insights Labs shows that traditional retirement strategies in India may fall short in sustaining income over long retirements. The report highlights how structural design, rather than corpus size alone, determines whether retirees can maintain their lifestyle amid rising costs and market volatility.

How retirees are driving the US economy more than ever

Americans 70 and older now control an outsized share of the nation’s wealth, equities and housing assets, a shift driven by demographics, rising corporate profits and decades of soaring home and stock values, The Wall Street Journal writes. Federal Reserve data shows older households have steadily increased their share of net worth and market holdings, even as wealth has lagged for younger groups.
