Upcoming event: Envisioning the Future of Social Insurance in a Competitive Economy

Envisioning the Future of Social Insurance in a Competitive Economy

Policy Seminar in Conjunction with NASI's 25th Anniversary Celebration

Is social insurance the best way to manage the risks associated with health, retirement, and the vicissitudes of the labor market in the new economy? Which risks should be borne by individuals, which resolved by the market, and which pooled across society? And how can these risks be managed in a way that promotes economic dynamism and growth?

Washington Court Hotel • 525 New Jersey Avenue NW • Washington, DC
