Kevin Bryan proposes that Social Security's financial sustainability could be improved by aligning payouts with the actuarially fair value of payments received, adjusted by a minimum payoff constraint, similar to the structure of any standard annuity.
He suggests that voters would likely consider this approach to be fair.
Bryan has previously commented on cross-border economic performance, highlighting slower real GDP per capita growth in Canada compared to the U.S. In an earlier article, he also warned that extreme wealth gaps, with some individuals far outpacing celebrities and CEOs, could create political challenges. The economist's recent Social Security proposal comes amid these wider observations on income distribution and economic policy.
